Fort Commander's Office Introduction
- Attraction Introduction - In 1896, the Japanese army established the Keelung Fortress Command at Keelung, and in 1903, they set up the Keelung Fortress Headquarters, which encompassed areas including Keelung, Aodi, Jinshan, Tamsui, Hsinchu, and Houlong. The Keelung Fortress Headquarters was the highest military command center in northern Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period, and it has now transformed into a cultural and artistic park. - Attraction Features - The architecture of the Fortress Headquarters was designed by Japanese Army engineer Shin'ichi Asai at that time. The building features a T-shaped layout, with columns made of brown-toned brick and railings of beige-colored pebbles. The main building of the Fortress Headquarters now serves as an exhibition hall, while the military storage room is used as a performance space, and there is also a dining service provided at Guangfu Building. The Fortress Headquarters periodically hosts performance events that blend cultural creativity, and it is also a popular venue for weddings. - Recommended Activities - Visitors can join guided tours during the day to gain a deeper understanding of the history and architectural features of the fortress, followed by appreciating exhibitions in the main exhibition hall or participating in performance activities in the military storage space. Alternatively, visitors can wait until nightfall to enjoy the changes in lighting and shadows on the buildings after the park is illuminated, experiencing the unique charm of the military relics transformed into an artistic space. - Surrounding Recommendations - After visiting the Fortress Headquarters, you can walk to the "Shawan Historical and Cultural Park," "Mayor's Residence," and "Taipei Lun Memorial Park," planning a journey to explore the history and architectural aesthetics of the harbor area, transitioning from military defenses to traditional Japanese-style houses and sites of the Sino-French War, experiencing the diverse aspects of Keelung's historical scenes.
