Dongchang Camp Introduction
Dongchang Camp (West Fortress of Xiyu), construction began on April 25, 1903, and was completed on October 25, 1904. It serves as a coastal defense structure, consisting of 3 gun emplacements and 6 artillery positions, and is one of the fortresses from the Japanese occupation period in Penghu. Currently, it is one of the potential attractions in Xiyu Township. The military historical sites here include: the Xiyu Powder Magazine (a heavily fortified ammunition depot), an underground cool powder magazine, a cave-type smokeless powder depot, a smokeless powder depot, the East Fortress of Xiyu with its attached artillery, the Dongbi Toudong Navy Base, tunnel artillery fortifications, the Dongtai Hufen Camp (East Fortress of Xiyu), and Dongchang Camp (West Fortress of Xiyu). The scattered artillery platforms, fortifications, and ammunition depots form a unique military landscape composed of historical buildings and military facilities. Currently, the facilities built during the Japanese occupation, such as artillery groups, underground tunnels, and fortifications, have been organized, and necessary public service facilities like parking lots and restrooms have been completed in Dongchang Camp. In the future, local military sites, historical, and cultural resources can be integrated, along with interpretations of military life, to reshape the tourism experience in the Xiyu area. 【Recommended Stay Time】 2 hours
