Dongchang Military Camp Introduction
Dongchang Camp (Xiyu Western Fortress) began construction on April 25, 1903, and was completed on October 25, 1904. It is a coastal defense structure consisting of three gun emplacements with six positions, serving as one of the important fortifications on Penghu Island during the Japanese colonial period. Today, it is one of the potential attractions in Xiyu Township. The military historical sites here include: the Xiyu Gunpowder Magazine (a reinforced ammunition depot), an underground cool powder magazine, a cave-type smokeless powder magazine, a smokable powder magazine, the Xiyu Eastern Fortress affiliated battery, the Dongbi Head Shockwave Team, tunnel fortifications, the Dongtai Hubun Camp (Xiyu Eastern Fortress), and the Dongchang Camp (Xiyu Western Fortress). The scattered battery, fortress, ammunition depot, and other historical buildings and military facilities constitute this uniquely characteristic military landscape. Currently, the facilities built during the Japanese colonial period, such as the battery group, underground tunnels, and fortifications, have been organized, with necessary public service facilities like a parking lot and restrooms at Dongchang Camp completed. In the future, it can integrate local military relics and historical and cultural resources, incorporating explanations of wartime life to reshape the travel impression of the Xiyu area. [Recommended duration of stay] 2 hours.
