The Secret Investigation Centers of Investigation Bureau
Philosophy and Goal
During the White Terror era, the Investigation Bureau’s business covered political investigation, information collection, counterintelligence and interrogation. This route includes Dalongtong Detention Center, where the Investigation Bureau held and interrogated suspects in the early post-war period, and the two subsequent centers : San-Chang-Li Guest House in the 1960s and Ankang Reception Center in the 1970s and 1980s. The three successive sites functioned as interrogation prisons and torture places one after the other. Through the change of location in different times, visitors get to explore the process of spatial transformation of the Historical Sites of Injustice.
Features
All the sites of this route are open to the public; adding the easy accessibility between locations, in addition to being convenient to plan group tours, the general public can also drive by themselves for self-guided tour. To make the tour more complete, lectures of related topics are also recommended to be arranged in group itinerary.
