entry by PRC nationals (including those from Macau and Hong Kong) due to security concerns, say center authorities, because it is located inside Taiwan’s Air Force Academy, which is part of the Gangshan Air Base.

The exhibition center features a UFO-shaped exterior that is intended to represent an advanced high-tech aircraft.
