Former Wuqi Police Station and Dormitories

The Former Wuqi Police Station complex includes multiple structures with brick and wooden dormitories arranged around a central police station building.

Constructed in 1931 during Japanese rule, the station underwent structural modifications following the 1935 Shinchiku-Taichū earthquake that affected many buildings in Taiwan.

The buildings exemplify the integration of Japanese police administration systems in Taiwan through the implementation of the kōban community policing model.

The Wuqi Cultural Branch Office provides guided tours of the restored buildings, explaining the evolution of law enforcement practices in Taiwan.

The complex stands as one of the few remaining examples where both police facilities and residential quarters maintain their original configuration from the 1930s.
