Taichung Shuinan Airport, Former military and civilian airport in Beitun District, Taiwan
Taichung Shuinan Airport was a combined civilian and military facility located in Beitun with runways, hangars, and administrative buildings spread across a large site. The installation served as a hub for domestic aviation and defense operations before ceasing activity.
The site was constructed during Japanese rule and served as a military base during World War II. After the war, it became a center for Taiwan's aerospace industry and played a significant role in regional development.
The name Shuinan derives from a village in Beitun District, reflecting the connection between the airport and local Taiwanese heritage.
The site is located in Beitun and is now a decommissioned facility with no active flight operations. Visitors can view the grounds from the outside, though the buildings are no longer in use.
Between 1950 and 1980, the airport housed the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation, establishing itself as central Taiwan's primary aviation facility.
