Originally the “Xinyi New Village” of the Air Force Dependents’ Village, the Taichung Qingshui Military Dependents’ Village Cultural Park spans approximately 6.25 hectares, consisting of expansive green rice paddies and a richly diverse plant ecosystem. Below the surface lies the Zhong-she

​Archaeological Site, while the buildings have undergone notable transformations—from the employee dormitories of Japan’s Sixth Fuel Factory to the Air Force Logistics Dependents’ Quarters in Xinyi New Village. Together, these features create a site rich in cultural heritage. In 2012, this site was designated as one of 13 key military dependents’ village cultural preservation areas nationwide by the Ministry of National Defense.

Xinyi New Village was established in 1949, following the relocation of the former Air Force Engine Manufacturing Plant from Dading County in Guizhou Province. Many residents were employees of the engine manufacturing and parachute maintenance factories. By 2006, residents had moved to new housing nearby, and in 2014, the preserved area was officially named the "Taichung Qingshui Military Dependents’ Village Cultural Park." The park is managed and operated by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Taichung City Government, which oversees its planning and administration. In 2019, owing to the well-preserved architecture and layout of this historic military dependents’ village, the park was officially registered as a “Settlement Architectural Complex”, granting it dual status as a cultural heritage site.
