Victory Village - General's House Introduction
Pingtung Shengli New Village was initially a group of Japanese-style buildings received from the Japanese after World War II. Each courtyard showcases unique beauty based on the preferred plants and styles of the families who lived there. After the Republic of China government came to Taiwan, this area served as an important residence for military officers. With the Ministry of National Defense's planning for renovation of military dependents' villages, many areas faced reconstruction and demolition. However, thanks to the efforts of the Pingtung County Government, these 71 lucky Japanese-style buildings were preserved, bearing witness to the era of deepened emotions caused by wartime displacement. Under the bright sun, these 71 houses emanate a strong sense of the military dependents' village, connecting the memories of all who lived there, endlessly enduring. Among them, the General's House is a one-and-a-half-story Japanese-style building, featuring a black eave and a pebble stone staircase; its Japanese corridor and traditional Taiwanese earth-gray walls narrate a history that has passed through generations, witnessing the ebb and flow of people. Today, the General's House no longer accommodates generals but instead presents the most beautiful stories of bygone days, recounting the past memories of the Pingtung military dependents' village, allowing the unique brilliance of this place to continue to shine.
