Park Introduction

Shueijiaoshe Cultural Park

The Japanese dormitory area of Shueijiaoshe was a housing community for military personnel who served in Tainan Navy Air Squadron, and their dependents.

After the National Government relocated to Taiwan, Shueijiaoshe was taken over by the Aviation Commission (the predecessor of the Air Force Headquarters) and was used as the base for the 443rd Tactical Fighter Wing. More housing facilities were then built to provide accomodation for military personnel and their dependents in Shueijiaoshe.

In 2004, Shueijiaoshe was designated by Tainan City Government as site of cultural heritage, and became known as the “Primary Dormitory Area of Shueijiaoshe and the Cultural Landscape”. It has since become an important monument for preserving the cultural assets of military housing communities in Tainan.

“Shueijiaoshe Cultural Park”, which was established at the same location, and opened to the public on December 25th of 2019, with 8 exhibition spaces displaying different themes, Including Theme Hall, History Museum, Exhibition Space, Literature Salon, AIR Tainan Hall, Special Exhibition Gallery and 2 military village specialty restaurants- Aviation Playground and Community Canteen.


Landscape

Shueijiaoshe Cultural Park is composed of plants, buildings, and remains, it keeping the native plants to correspond the military village culture and back to the original appearance of the landscape. However, the new planted Taiwan native plants, such as Chinese pennisetum, White Cogongrass, Miscanthus sinensis'Gracillimus', etc., are hidden in the wilderness in the city, allowing busy modern people to walk in the park while narrowing the distance with nature.
