The tunnel was built in 1943 by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Japanese rule of Taiwan to fend off the landing of United States Armed Forces.[1]
The tunnel stretches from Linnei Village through Fongshan Ciouling and ends in Fongbitou in Jhongmen Village.[1] Part of the tunnel which is largely intact is around the Longpan Cave.[2]
