Wang-an - Mandarin Duck Cave, Cangjun Cave (Zhènyángtǐng Base) Introduction

Yuan Yang Cave is a site of geographical and historical value, featuring an east-west river valley terrain, and it also serves as a fishing spot. Due to the river valley topography, there are several shallow wells nearby; during World War II, it also served as an air-raid shelter for the residents of Wang-an, where many caves were excavated to serve as shelters. Over time and through the forces of nature, most of these shelters have collapsed. The surrounding beach of Yuan Yang Cave is pure and tranquil, while the outer sea is protected by Saddle Mountain Island, which resembles a saddle, located about 600 meters away. The "Cangjun Cave" within Yuan Yang Cave is a remaining historical site of the area; it was excavated by the Japanese army during World War II, who enslaved the residents of Wang-an and Jinmen Islands, creating sleeping quarters for torpedo boats and special forces. The project was completed just before Japan announced its unconditional surrender, resulting in the abandonment of the base, with many caves having collapsed, leaving only ruins.
