Duxing Village Military Dependents' Village Cultural Preservation Park Introduction
Duxing Shicun is the oldest military dependents' village in Taiwan, originally established as the headquarters of the Penghu Island fortress command and the officers' quarters of the Makung Heavy Artillery Battalion during the Japanese colonial period. After World War II, it was taken over by the Nationalist government, transformed into the quarters for officers of the Penghu Defense Command, and named "Duxing Shicun." In 2006, after the residents completed their relocation, the Cultural Bureau established it as a cultural park for military dependents' villages, preserving the unique cultural atmosphere and surrounding natural scenery. It is now known as the "Duxing Shicun Military Dependents' Village Cultural Park." Currently, some houses have been renovated and planned as accommodations, while surrounding buildings and streets have also been restored and transformed. Landscape areas and shopping areas have been planned, featuring many distinctive attractions and stores, with some spaces decorated with painted walls and arranged with nostalgic tables, chairs, bicycles, and motorcycles, making it a popular spot for photos. Visitors can not only stay here and experience the architecture of the military dependents' village but also participate in thematic cultural events related to festive activities organized intermittently by the park, allowing them to experience the lifestyle of the military dependents' village of that era. Many celebrities have lived here, including the late singers Pan Anbang and Zhang Yusheng, who both grew up in this village; their former homes have been planned as exhibition spaces called the "Zhang Yusheng Story Museum" and the "Pan Anbang Memorial Hall," adding richer cultural connotations to the village. 【Recommended Stay Time】 2.5 hours
