Former Japanese Army Taichung Airfield Machine Gun Bunker Introduction
This facility was built in 1940 by the Japanese army in response to the armed defense of the former Taichung Airfield (now Shuinan Airport). The firepower network can suppress the open plains to the east of the airfield and is classified as a machine gun shelter, commonly referred to as a "machine gun fort." Its shape is a conical concrete structure with a base diameter of approximately 10 meters and a height of about 6 to 9 meters, featuring multiple rectangular windows in the walls.
