In the 1950s, Taiwan and the United States signed a mutual defense treaty, expanding the original Gongguan Airport based on the treaty and naming it "Ching Chuan Kang" Airport after anti-Japanese hero General Qiu Qingquan, which was the largest air force base in the Far East at the time. In 1962, with the outbreak of the Vietnam War, the US military stationed C-130 Hercules transport aircraft in Taiwan to support operations in North Vietnam, using Ching Chuan Kang Airport as a logistics base. In 1966, seven oil depots were built in Yangcuo Village, Qingshui District, near the base, to supply fuel for American fighter jets and B-52 bombers. As the Vietnam War ended and diplomatic relations were severed, this area gradually lost its important military status. The Dayang Oil Depot is the only remaining historical structure, witnessing the cultural background of the Vietnam War, standing like a behemoth on the Dadushan Plateau.
