Taroko Guardian

The rookie fire brigade, which is now located in the new town of Xincheng Township, was formerly the location of the Wude Hall of the Yanhai Branch during the Japanese rule. After the war, it was changed to the "rookie fire brigade". The spectacular imitation Tang-style Xieshan eaves are no longer present. Style building, replaced by a new reinforced concrete sky-high office building. The Forest Service Bureau New City Work Station, located in front of the rookie fire brigade, is the location of the first generation Wude Hall of Yanhai Branch, but unfortunately it is no longer the old days! However, in the memory of the local elderly, it is still clear that the predecessors of these two positions were the places where the Japanese practiced Kendo and Judo! The Xincheng branch office located next to today's rookie fire brigade was formerly the Yanhai branch office building. Although it was also rebuilt and changed to the "new city branch office", the new city branch office still retains the cement guardrail and cement molding columns built by the Yanhai branch office at that time. Quite precious! Although two layers of hollow bricks were added to the old building, the old look is still clearly visible!
