Shishan Howitzer Position
獅山砲陣地
A fully tunneled 8-inch howitzer position with daily simulated gun drill demonstrations that recreate its wartime readiness.
The Shishan Howitzer Position is located near Shanhou in Jinsha Township. It is the island's first tunneled artillery position, with tunnels about 500 meters long, several gun chambers, and displays of a giant 8-inch howitzer, an ammunition depot and soldiers' quarters. Actors in military uniforms perform simulated gun drills at set times each day, with a lively rhythm that visitors love. It is open approximately 08:30 to 17:00 and free to enter, though show times are subject to on-site announcements. It is about 3 minutes by car from the Shanhou Folk Culture Village.
Opening hours
