Statue of Liu Yuzhang Introduction
In 1954, General Liu Yu-chang assumed the position of Commander of the Kinmen Defense Command. During his tenure, he commanded during the 93 Shelling and led troops in digging trenches and tunnels, as well as developing hiking trails on Mount Taiwu. The underground features of Kinmen greatly contributed to the later 823 Shelling. President Chiang Kai-shek, recognizing his remarkable achievements, named the road on Mount Taiwu as Yuzhang Road and erected a statue of Liu Yu-chang at the mountainside in his honor.
