Former Japanese Navy Radio Station, Fongshan

The former Japanese Navy Radio Station is another place on our list of the most beautiful historical sites in Taiwan. The former Japanese Navy Radio Station in Fongshan was erected in 1919 and operated as the Japanese Navy's major radio communication station between the port of Kaohsiung and Japan for thirty years. However, it took a darker turn after the Chinese Nationalists relocated their capital to Taiwan in 1949. It was converted into a detention and interrogation facility for military detainees.

It also played a role in the White Terror and was given the fairly sinister moniker "Fengshan Guest House." It was later used as a Navy training facility before being decommissioned. The site is now managed by the Bureau of Cultural Heritage and provides information about its unique and varied history.
