Tungchang Military Base Introduction
Dongchang Military Camp (Xiyu West Fortress) began construction on April 25, 1903, and was completed on October 25, 1904. It is a coastal defense facility composed of 3 gun positions and 6 gun emplacements, and it was one of the fortifications on Penghu Islands during the Japanese colonial period. Today, it is one of the potential attractions in Xiyu Township. The military historical sites here include: the Xiyu Powder Magazine (a secured ammunition depot), a cave-type cool powder magazine, a cave-type smokeless powder magazine, a smokable powder magazine, the Xiyu East Fortress subsidiary battery, the Dongbeitou Earthquake Team, trench artillery fortifications, Dongtai Hubei Camp (Xiyu East Fortress), and Dongchang Military Camp (Xiyu West Fortress). The scattered artillery positions, fortifications, and ammunition depots are historical buildings and military facilities that create a unique military landscape. Currently, the facilities established during the Japanese occupation, including the artillery groups, underground tunnels, and fortifications within the camp are being organized, and necessary public service facilities such as parking lots and restrooms in the Dongchang Military Camp are gradually being completed. In the future, local military relics and historical and cultural resources can be integrated, and explanations of wartime life will be included to reshape the new tourism impression of the Xiyu area.
