Duxing Ten Villages Retired Military Dependents Cultural Park Introduction
Duxing Village is the oldest military dependents' village in Taiwan, originally serving as the fortress command of Penghu Islands 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 National Government and converted into the officers' quarters of the Penghu Defense Command, and named "Duxing Village." After the residents completed their relocation in 2006, the Cultural Bureau transformed it into a military dependents' village cultural park, preserving the unique cultural and natural landscape of the village. Today, part of the renovated houses are planned as accommodations, while the surrounding buildings and streets have been refurbished, including scenic areas and shopping districts, showcasing numerous characteristic attractions and stores. Some spaces feature painted walls and nostalgic decor with tables, chairs, bicycles, motorcycles, etc., making it a popular spot for photography. Visitors can not only stay there and experience the architecture of the dependents' village but also enjoy various cultural activities related to festivals organized by the park, allowing them to experience the lifestyle of the dependents' village. Duxing Village has been home to several celebrities, such as the late singers Pan Anbang and Zhang Yusheng, who grew up here and are known for the folk song "Grandma's Penghu Bay" which has gained popularity across the Taiwan Strait. Their former residences have been turned into art exhibition spaces known as the "Zhang Yusheng Story Museum" and the "Pan Anbang Memorial Hall," adding more cultural richness to the village. 【Recommended Stay Duration】 2.5 hours
