Duxing 10th Village
篤行十村
One of Taiwan's earliest military dependents' villages, converted from Japanese-era dormitories. It is home to the former residences of singers Chang Yu-sheng and Pan An-bang, and a favorite stop for arts-minded visitors.
Duxing 10th Village lies at Jinlongtou in Magong. It was originally built as Japanese naval dormitories during the Japanese occupation period, and after 1949 it became a military dependents' village. It is one of the oldest surviving such villages in Taiwan. After restoration it became a military dependents' culture park. The former residence of singer Chang Yu-sheng and a memorial hall for Pan An-bang, original singer of “Grandma's Penghu Bay,” are the most popular spots. The alleys also hold a stone tablet inscribed “Never Forget Ju,” along with converted cafés and creative gift shops. The park is free to enter. Opening hours for the residence exhibitions are announced on site, and they are generally closed on Tuesdays. It is a few minutes' walk from Shuncheng Gate.
