The Matsu National Scenic Area Administration announced on the 22nd that the M1-40 twin-barrel anti-aircraft gun displayed at Sanshan Stronghold in Dongyin had its rotation function restored after being disabled by years of salt spray corrosion. Since the gun is a decommissioned military asset, finding replacement parts was difficult. However, the administration commissioned professional contractors to dismantle, repair, and reassemble the damaged components. Sanshan Stronghold was once the most heavily armed site on Xiyin Island and now serves as a tourist attraction offering panoramic views of Liang Island and the coast of mainland China.
