Dongchang Military Base Introduction
Dongchang Camp (Xiyu West Fort) began construction on April 25, 1903 (Meiji 36) and was completed on October 25, 1904 (Meiji 37). It is a coastal defense facility consisting of 3 gun mounts and 6 gun positions, and it was one of the fortifications on Penghu Island during the Japanese colonial period. It is now one of the potential tourist attractions in Xiyu Township. The military historical sites here include: Xiyu Gunpowder Depot (a solidly fortified ammunition depot), a cave-style cool gunpowder depot, a cave-style smokeless powder depot, a smokeless powder depot, the auxiliary battery of Xiyu East Fort, the Dongbitou Seismic Team, tunnel gun bunkers, Dongtai Tiger Camp (Xiyu East Fort), and Dongchang Camp (Xiyu West Fort). The scattered gun positions, fortifications, and ammunition depots are all historic buildings and military facilities that form a unique military landscape. Currently, the military facilities built during the Japanese colonial period are being organized, with essential public service facilities such as parking lots and public restrooms at Dongchang Camp being gradually completed. In the future, it is possible to combine local military sites and historical cultural resources, incorporating explanations of wartime life, to recreate a new tourism impression for the Xiyu area.
