The beautiful Tapeng Bay is the only bay with a lagoon on Taiwan's west coast. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese air force used the lagoon as a base to support Japan's forays southwards. After Taiwan's return to ROC rule, the lagoon was used for artillery training by all three branches of the armed forces.
這樣優美的大鵬灣，是台灣西南沿海唯一的內灣型潟湖地形，在日據時代為日人水上機場的南進基地，光復後因成立空軍幼校，而成為三軍防砲訓練中心。
