New Taipei City Air Force Sanchong Village Mysterious Tunnel Adventure

New Taipei City Air Force Sanchong No. 1 Village is located next to the Tamsui River embankment. Because the military village is well preserved, the New Taipei City Government declared it a historical building in 1995. Air Force Sanchong No. 1 Village is about a 10-minute walk from Taipei Bridge MRT Station. The mural at the entrance records the life of the military dependents village.

In fact, the original Air Force Sanchong No. 1 Village was an important artillery position during the Japanese occupation. Since it was adjacent to the mouth of the Tamsui River, its main task was to intercept Allied aircraft bombing the Taipei Bridge and the Taipei Governor's Office. The triple anti-aircraft turret has a total of six gun mounts. Unfortunately, all the gun mounts have been buried, and only the position is preserved.

Just like in the TV series, there must be a small square in the military dependents' village. It can be imagined that it was a common place for gossip at that time. Compared to now, there are also many literary and youth handicraft vendors setting up stalls on weekends, which is very lively.

After the Nationalist Government moved to Taiwan, dormitories were built here one after another. At that time, different military ranks lived in simple houses of different sizes, just for shelter from the wind and rain. General Xiao was the top general at the time. His home was a two-story building. It was the largest house in Air Force Village and was completely open to tourists.

General Xiao lived a simple life, with only simple furniture in his house.

It contains letters from my hometown and various medals and certificates received from performing tasks, which are very well preserved.

A handsome dark green Soviet-style military uniform, and a desire to go home as soon as possible.

The classic mosaic tile bathtub was a popular construction method in the 1950s and 1960s. The rich man also saw it at his grandma's house when he was a child.

Corridor Guide

After leaving General Xiao's residence, you can go to the visitor center under the big banyan tree to sign up for a free guided tour of the corridor. The corridor played an important role in the artillery positions during the Japanese occupation, and its main purpose was to store ammunition. The corridor is well preserved and worth a visit!

Wear a protective helmet and enter the mysterious tunnel.

The height of the corridor is only about 160 centimeters, which is in line with the height of Japanese soldiers at that time. Therefore, the helmets are mainly used to prevent everyone from hitting the roof of the corridor. Everyone bent their heads slightly and listened carefully to the tour guide explaining the history of the corridor.

The corridor is connected to the gun mounts, and its main purpose is to allow soldiers to quickly transport ammunition to the gun mounts that need supplies. The length of the corridor is about 200 meters. After walking around the corridor, the tour ended. The rich man thought it was a very special experience. He had traveled there before.Hanoi, VietnamAt that time, the little rich man had never experienced the secret passage of the Vietnam War, but he did not expect that his dream would come true here.
