Memories of the old village on display at the city museum.

Formerly the most populous of approximately 16 ROCAF dependents’ villages in Chiayi City. Most of it was built after 1949 with a small number of pre-existing Japanese wooden houses reserved for senior officers and their families. Residents were relocated to the Jingguo New City (經國新城) apartment towers in 2005 and the village, together with the adjacent Fuxing New Village (復興新村), was cleared for redevelopment. Only four crumbling, overgrown houses survive, fenced off behind sheet metal on a parcel set aside for a long-planned military village culture museum.
