Wusha North Sea Tunnel Introduction
The dark and deep Wusha North Sea Tunnel, also known as "Wusha North Sea Tunnel," is approximately 550 meters long and 9 to 15 meters wide. Construction began in 1968 simultaneously with the North Sea Tunnels at Nan'gan and Dongyin. Although it is not as grand as the Nan'gan North Sea Tunnel, it is a testament to the hard work and sacrifices of the soldiers of the National Army, who toiled under harsh conditions, and some even lost their lives, using only simple tools like pickaxes, round shovels, iron rakes, and iron dustpans to carve through the hard granite walls, one strike at a time. The construction lasted nearly three years, with over a hundred soldiers sacrificing their lives, highlighting the scale and difficulty of the project. Since its establishment, the Matsu National Scenic Area Administration has taken over the Wusha North Sea Tunnel, systematically renovating the tunnel and nearby facilities, and constructing access roads and guardrails. The area around the tunnel is filled with intriguing geological landscapes formed by sea erosion or weathering, naturally sculpting vivid scenes, accompanied by the beautiful echoes of the waves, allowing visitors to experience a dual enjoyment of both visual and auditory senses.
