The 'Diaobao' (pillbox) architecture was designed to provide 360-degree defensive coverage for soldiers.
The structure is built with thick, blast-resistant concrete walls to withstand artillery and small-arms fire.
This site was part of a larger cluster of bunkers built to guard the Taoyuan plateau from potential beach-landing incursions.
The park was developed as a community initiative to repurpose decommissioned military installations into public recreational land.
Shuanglianpodiaobao Park is a historical site centered around a preserved concrete military bunker from the Cold War era. The park integrates a former defensive structure into a modern community green space, preserving the strategic fortification used during the defense of Taiwan. The bunker is constructed of reinforced concrete, featuring small embrasures designed for defensive gunfire. The surrounding area was historically part of a military base, reflecting the tactical layout of the region's mid-20th-century defense network. The site serves as a public park with landscaped pathways that allow visitors to view the exterior of the fortification. It stands as a physical remnant of Pingzhen’s military history, providing context for the defense structures once prevalent across Taoyuan.
