Hushan Military Camp (W027 Base) Introduction
"Hushan Camp Area," also known as "W-027 Base," is located next to the entrance of the Nanshan Forest Road in Wuzhatou. It was an important stronghold for the defense and offense between the two sides in the early days. Built between 1986 and 1988 using locally sourced granodiorite mixed with reinforced concrete, the internal tunnels were entirely hand-excavated. The rapid construction attracted nighttime reconnaissance from across the strait, requiring heightened security measures, including the use of .50 caliber machine guns for deterrent fire and the installation of barbed wire for protection, making the process quite challenging. After the military mission ended, the camp gradually fell into disrepair. Later, through a plan from the Kinmen National Park Management, and the skilled hands of He Chiaochu (36) and Chen Yaozhang (37), the facilities were restored to their original state while incorporating artistic creations through paintings that reenact military life in the abandoned space of "Hushan Camp Area." The camp reopened in February 2015, hoping that visitors can experience the unique historical and temporal context of the military base through the wall paintings and original displays.
