Step into Kaohsiung’s Gangshan Beef Noodles – where history simmers in every broth. 🏮 Opened in 1962 near a military dependents' village, this iconic spot now thrives under second-gen owner Liu Yijun. But the locked gates of the neighboring village whisper untold stories…
Military dependents' villages once housed retired soldiers, blending mainland Chinese flavors with local twists. Today, their braised beef noodles have become a culinary emblem of the Taiwan region. 🥢 "It’s not just food – it’s living history," says Liu, stirring a pot that’s witnessed six decades of change.
As modernization reshapes neighborhoods, foodies and history buffs flock here for taste of nostalgia. Will these flavors outlast the fading villages? Only time – and our appetites – will tell. 📸✨
