Wusha North Sea Tunnel Introduction
The dark and deep Wusha North Harbor Tunnel, also known as Wusha Tunnel, is approximately 550 meters long and 9 to 15 meters wide. It was excavated simultaneously with the North Harbor Tunnels in Nan Gan and Dong Yin in 1968. Although it is not as spectacular as the North Harbor Tunnel in Nan Gan, it carries the same history of the Nationalist Army working tirelessly, even sacrificing lives, using only simple tools such as picks, shovels, iron rakes, and dustpans to carve through the hard granite walls. The construction period lasted nearly three years, resulting in the loss of over a hundred soldiers, reflecting the immense scale and hardship of the project. Since the establishment of the Matsu National Scenic Area Administration, efforts have been made to take over the Wusha North Harbor Tunnel, systematically renovating the tunnel interior and nearby lookout points, as well as building access roads and guardrails. The area around the tunnel features fascinating geological landscapes formed by sea erosion or weathering, naturally sculpted into vivid scenes, accompanied by the beautiful echoes of waves, providing visitors with a dual sensory experience of sight and sound.
