Dongchang Military Camp Introduction
Dongchang Camp (Western Fort of Xiyu) began construction on April 25, 1903 (Meiji 36) and was completed on October 25, 1904 (Meiji 37). It is part of coastal defense works consisting of 3 gun emplacements and 6 gun positions, and is one of the fortifications on Penghu Islands during the Japanese colonial period. It is now one of the potential attractions in Xiyu Township. The military historical sites here include: the Xiyu Powder Magazine (a solidly built ammunition depot), a rock-cut cooling powder magazine, a cave-style smokeless powder magazine, a smokeless powder magazine, the eastern fort of Xiyu with its associated batteries, the Dongbitou Zhenyang team, the tunnel artillery fort, Dongtai Huben Camp (Eastern Fort of Xiyu), and Dongchang Camp (Western Fort of Xiyu). The scattered emplacements, fortifications, and ammunition depots are historical buildings and military facilities that create a distinctive military landscape. Currently, necessary public service facilities such as parking lots and restrooms have been completed within the camp, and the functionality of artillery positions, underground tunnels, and fortifications built during the Japanese occupation is being organized. In the future, these can be integrated with local military relics and historical cultural resources, incorporating explanations of battlefield life to reshape the new tourism impression of the Xiyu area.
