History
The structure was built in 1967 as a psychological Cross-Strait warfare instrument directed towards Mainland China.[1][2] Material such as songs by Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng and speeches inviting enemy soldiers to defect were played through the loudspeakers. Retaliatory speakers also broadcast messages from the other side of the Strait.[3] It was used until the late 1970s.[4]
