Wusha North Sea Tunnel Introduction
The dark and deep Wusha North Sea Tunnel, also known as Wusha Tunnel, is approximately 550 meters long and 9 to 15 meters wide. Construction began simultaneously in 1968 at Wusha, Nangan, and Dongyin for the North Sea Tunnels. Although it is not as grand as the North Sea Tunnel in Nangan, it similarly represents the hard work and sacrifices of the military personnel who toiled tirelessly and even lost their lives. They used simple tools such as pickaxes, shovels, iron rakes, and iron dustpans to excavate the hard granite walls, creating the tunnel one blow at a time. The construction took nearly three years and resulted in over a hundred casualties among soldiers, demonstrating 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's interior and nearby points of interest, as well as constructing connecting roads and guardrails. The area around the tunnel is filled with marvelous geological formations shaped by sea erosion or weathering, naturally carving vivid scenes. Along with the enchanting echoes of the waves, visitors can enjoy a dual experience of both visual and auditory pleasure.
