Constructed in 1917, this was one of the three major wireless communications stations built in Taiwan in the Japanese Colonial Era. After the National Government moved to Taiwan, it became a military-run facility used for interrogation and as a prison in the White Terror. It was made a national heritage site due to the rarity of its military architecture and its deep, far-reaching influence on Taiwanese history. The elegant red bricks and black tiles of the Japanese-style structure and forbidding remains of military communications equipment are popular with military buffs and photographers.
