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. It was excavated in 1968 simultaneously with the Beihai Tunnels in Nangan and Dongyin. Although it may not be as grand as the Beihai Tunnel in Nangan, it is a testament to the hard work and sacrifices of the former military personnel, who, with only simple tools such as pickaxes, shovels, iron rakes, and dustpans, carved through the hard granite walls. The construction took nearly three years, during which over a hundred soldiers lost their lives, illustrating the scale and hardships of the project. Since its establishment, the Matsu National Scenic Area Administration has taken charge of the Wusha North Sea Tunnel, renovating the tunnel's interior and nearby establishments while constructing access roads and guardrails. Surrounding the tunnel, one can find mysterious geological formations created by sea erosion or weathering, forming vivid scenes through natural sculpting. Coupled with the wonderful echoes of the waves, visitors can simultaneously enjoy both visual and auditory experiences.
