Victory Village - General's House Introduction
Pingtung Victory Village was originally a group of Japanese-style buildings acquired after World War II. Each courtyard presents a different beautiful scene, reflecting the personal preferences of its owners through various plants and styles. After the Republic of China government came to Taiwan, this area served as important military officer residences for the Nationalist Army. With the Ministry of National Defense's plans for military housing reform, many areas faced reconstruction and demolition. However, thanks to the efforts of the Pingtung County Government, 71 fortunate Japanese-style houses were preserved, serving as a testament to an era where feelings deepened due to the disruptions of war. Under the bright sun, these 71 houses radiate a strong military village atmosphere, connecting the memories of all residents and continuing endlessly. Among them, the General's House is a one-and-a-half-story Japanese-style building featuring a black eaves and pebble-studded stairs, with a Japanese corridor and traditional Taiwanese earthen-grey walls. This house tells the history that has been passed down through generations, witnessing the comings and goings of people. Today, the General's House no longer accommodates generals but instead presents the most beautiful stories of the past, recounting the history of Pingtung's military village and allowing the unique splendor of Pingtung's military village to continue shining here.
