 小林望鄉紀念碑（Siaolin Memorial） |

2009年 8月的莫拉克颱風挾帶著驚人的雨勢重創南台灣，是台灣自1959年八七水災以後最嚴重的水患。颱風期間三天內下了一整年的雨量，使得高雄地區平地淹水，山區發生土石流，這場浩劫被稱為八八
風災。其中原高雄縣甲仙鄉小林村的周圍山區因不堪豪大雨而走山，第9至18鄰共有100多戶人家全數遭洪水及土石流覆滅。該地區被五層樓高的土石掩埋，將近 500村民慘遭活埋死亡。風災過後，考慮到開挖體積過大，以及不忍傷害先人骨骸等因素，村民們決定不開挖遺址，讓親人永眠於此。
為了紀念在風災中罹難的小林村民，由行政院莫拉克重建會、行政院文建會及高雄縣政府協力於2010年 7月26日在小林村原址南方的太子宮旁興建「望鄉」紀念碑。該紀念碑為一日晷裝置，設計師許亦成表示紀念碑是利用巨大漂流木向陽傾斜樹立，指向楠梓仙溪，意謂指引著小林村民回家的路，頂端是一隻飛翔的小鳥，象徵對故鄉的企盼。這同時象徵了展翅高飛的生命力，使人感受到小林村的未來充滿希望，取名「望鄉」以哀悼2009年8月9日罹難的村民，更希望可以為活下來的人帶來團結力量與希望。

In August 2009, Typhoon Morakot brought torrential rain to Southern Taiwan, bringing the worst flood devastation to Taiwan since the "87 Disaster" of 1959. Within three days, the typhoon dropped a year's rain on Southern Taiwan, flooding the flat areas of Kaohsiung and causing landslides in the mountains. This catastrophic event was named the "88 Disaster." In Siaolin Village, Jiasian Township of the former Kaohsiung County, torrential rain caused massive landslides destroying more than one hundred homes between the ninth and eighteenth neighborhoods of the village. The area was covered in a landslide five stories high, and nearly five hundred residents were buried alive. Following the disaster, due to the large area of the landslide and an unwillingness to disturb the bodies buried underneath, the villagers decided not to excavate the site, which was left as an eternal burying place for the loved ones lost.
In order to commemorate the victims of this tragedy, on July 26, 2010, the Executive Yuan Morakot Post-Disaster Reconstruction Council, the Executive Yuan Council for Cultural Affairs and the Kaohsiung County government unveiled a memorial to the victims next to the Taizih Temple to the south of the original village. The monument is a sundial. According to designer Hsu Yi-cheng, the monument uses a huge piece of driftwood that faces at an angle to the sun and lies opposite the Nanzihsian Stream, guiding the villagers of Siaolin home.
On the top of the monument, a small bird in flight symbolizes a yearning for home. The bird in flight also symbolizes vitality, expressing hope for the future of the Siaolin village. The memorial was given the name "wangsiang," which can be translated as"looking homewood," in memory of the victims of August 9, 2009, and aims to bring hope and unity to those who survived the tragedy.
