The villages for Kuomintang (KMT) veteran soldiers after they fled to Taiwan in 1949, are called Juancun in general, literally meaning servicemen s residential compound. Originally built as temporary shelters surrounded by bamboo fence, Juancun later became permanent settlements for veterans as hopes of returning to the mainland faded away. They were home to various dialects and cuisines as the residents came from different parts of the mainland. The villages are gradually disappearing nowadays because many descendants are no longer willing to stay. By the end of June, 2012, six Juancuns of Kaohsiung will be removed.
