The weather station was constructed in 1940 during the Japanese rule of Taiwan and established under the name Red Head Island Weather Station (Chinese: 紅頭嶼測候所). The station was heavily damaged during the World War II by the United States Armed Forces. After the war ended, the station was restored to its original condition.[1][2]
