Changhua eyes tourist boom with bomb shelter planBy Chang Tsung-chiu and Dennis Xie / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Changhua County Government yesterday said it hopes to open a 69-year-old bomb shelter on Baguashan (八卦山) to visitors as part of a plan to turn the location into a military tourism hotspot. The bomb shelter — which is 98m long, 2.2m wide and 2.2m high — is near the Baguashan Silver Bridge, one of the most iconic tourist spots on Baguashan, but the shelter is only accessible to groups or institutions that have made a reservation, the county government said. Baguashan Silver Bridge is pictured in Changhua County yesterday. Changhua County Commissioner Wang Hui-mei (王惠美) said that the bomb shelter has the potential to become a tourist hotspot. The commissioner is considering whether to make the bomb shelter part of a military technology area that offers visitors an immersive experience, Tien said.
