An underground command bunker discovered in 2018 about 250 meters from the Kaohsiung Tourism Pavilion (高雄觀光館), which served as CKS’s Sizihwan Guesthouse (西子灣行館). Built after the 1958 Taiwan Strait Crisis, when Chiang Kai-shek reportedly worked 10-hour days at the guesthouse for over a month, the facility consists of three T-shaped tunnels extending roughly 40 meters into the hillside. The main east-west tunnel runs about 100 meters with a 50-meter south branch. CKS’s personal command room sat at the center with a dedicated phone line. The south entrance has three blast doors rated for nuclear radiation and equipped with decontamination showers. The tunnel walls are lined with copper sheeting to block electromagnetic interference, and the complex includes ventilation, water storage, and sanitary facilities. It is not readily open to the public and the precise access point is unknown.
