US Army Gas Station

In the Puqing Forest Farm in Qinglong Shazi Town, there is also a large-scale US service station. During the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the service station built by the US military in Qinglong was one of the important supply stations for the US-China coalition forces, making an indelible contribution to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Military vehicles driving on the Myanmar Highway must supply oil here. Follow the navigation guidelines, follow the G320 National Highway, turn a X646 County Road, and turn right at the intersection of Puqing Forest Farm from the county road X646 into a narrow and lush path. The road is very difficult to walk. Some sections can only pass by bicycle. The car is bent around for about a few kilometers in the forest. Inadvertently, several watchtowers appeared in front of us. When we opened it, we found that the "gas station" in front of us was completely surrounded by a tight barbed wire fence. Fully equipped small military base. There is no one around, the door is open, no American white eagle national emblem above the door in the photo, and the plaque "US ARMY GAS STATION AT 24TH TURN ON CHINA-BURMA HIGHWAY" ( American military road 24 turn gas station" is printed, but the door is still the door in the photo. Open the history of dust sealing, this site of the US military barracks during the Anti-Japanese War, once called the Shaziling gas station, the nearby X646 county road, in fact, belongs to the "Shaba Highway" during the Anti-Japanese War period, "Shaba Highway" from the north of Shazi Town, Qinglong County, Guizhou, to the south to the Nanpanjiang Badu Ferry in Ceheng County, 267 kilometers in length. It is a road built in Guizhou to Guangxi during the war. The materials on the road can be transferred from the "Shaba Highway" to Guangxi, and the materials are transported by land and water ferry. In the post-war period, Guangxi is also an important war zone for the resistance to Japan, and all kinds of war readiness materials are in short supply. The construction of this "Shaba Highway" has used more than 3.5 10,000 migrant workers, and more than 470 migrant workers died during the construction process. This US military gas station barracks in the forest, analyzed from the old map, it is set at the corner of the T-shaped intersection of the road and the Shaba Road, which can take into account the management and protection of two important wartime roads. The location of the military barracks is considered quite comprehensive. The military barracks are a certain distance from the road. With a good design to prevent spy detection and destruction, the barracks are hidden in the dense forest and built on a slope. The specific construction of this US military barracks should be around 1942, and the US military sent the US military 1880 engineering barracks to renovate the Qinglong section of the road and the Shaba Highway to maintain and improve road capacity. Qinglong County has now re-rehabilitated this US service station, basically maintaining the appearance of the US military when it was stationed. In the barracks, four huge gasoline tanks can be seen arranged on the grass, oil tanks covered with mottled rust, and many old-fashioned military vehicles parked in the open spaces around. The entire barracks area now includes several buildings, including offices, barracks, gas stations, observation posts, artillery positions, etc., and there is also a special visitor center. The local area has turned this into a historical tourist attraction of the war against Japan.

It was only later that it was discovered that it seemed to be under development and not become a attraction. That is why it has retained a lot of the infrastructure that was there when the US military was stationed here.

More remote, there are not many people who go there. There is no ticket. You can walk or take a sightseeing bus. It is the same as the 24-way turn. It has witnessed the history of the two peoples of China and the United States to fight against the Japanese invaders. It is worth a visit to Qinglong.

No tickets are required, you can take a shuttle bus to the parking lot, 15 yuan/person. There is a US military gas station theme villa next to the classic to stay. It is said that the price of each building is about 500-1700 yuan/building/day.

The cabins next to the US service station (that is, the villas you said) have 15 buildings. The environment is first-class and the birds and flowers are fragrant, but they have nothing to do with the theme of the US service station. The price is not so expensive. 5.6 100 yuan will definitely be done, or even lower. Qinglong's tourism business has just started soon. The natural scenery is excellent and the price is fair.
