Japanese Era Taichung Airfield Machine Gun Pillbox Introduction
This facility was built in 1940 by the Japanese military in response to the armed readiness of the former Taichung Airfield (now Shuainan Airport). The firepower net can suppress the open plains area to the east of the airfield and is classified as a machine gun shelter, commonly referred to as a "machine gun fortress." Its shape is a conical concrete structure with a base diameter of about 10 meters and a height of approximately 6 to 9 meters, with multiple rectangular windows built into the walls. The information is sourced from the Cultural Assets Office of Taichung City.
