Beishan Broadcasting Wall, Military loudspeaker installation in Jinning Township, Taiwan.

The Beishan Broadcasting Wall contains 48 speakers arranged on a structure reaching the height of a three-story building facing the ocean toward mainland China.

Built in 1967 during political tensions, this installation projected anti-communist messages and operated as a psychological warfare tool until the late 1970s.

The broadcasts included songs by Taiwanese performer Teresa Teng and speeches aimed at encouraging mainland Chinese soldiers to change their allegiance.

Located at coordinates 24°29′19.9″N and 118°18′47.1″E, the wall stands just 2 kilometers from China's Xiamen city across the Taiwan Strait.

Modern artists have transformed this former propaganda instrument into a performance space, creating sound installations that examine historical and territorial themes.
