runway on Taiwan&rsquo;s east coast with Hualien Airport, in Xincheng Township. The civil airport was set up by the Civil Aeronautics Administration on 15 May 1951, according to the airport&rsquo;s own site (English Wikipedia gives 16 May 1962 as the opening date for military and civil use). What makes the base different is the mountain behind it. Between 1985 and 1993 the air force dug the Chiashan complex into the hills west of the field: English Wikipedia, citing the Taipei Times and The Diplomat, says it cost more than NT$27 billion and can shelter about 200 fighters, with blast doors opening onto taxiways, an underground hospital and underground fuel stations.<\/p>\n<p>The 5th Tactical Composite Wing, whose history reaches back to a fighter group formed at Hangzhou in 1936, moved here from Taoyuan in 1998 when it traded F-5s and F-104s for F-16s. It is now one of Taiwan&rsquo;s two F-16V wings; Taiwan News estimated its strength at roughly 50&ndash;60 aircraft in September 2026. The last F-5s in Taiwanese service, three RF-5Es and two F-5Fs, flew their final sortie from here on 4 July 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Because it faces the Pacific rather than the Taiwan Strait, Hualien is meant to be the air force&rsquo;s most survivable base. In September 2026 the ministry announced 22 new hardened shelters and five transport hangars here, part of a NT$6.88 billion programme for 2027&ndash;2031, and Taiwan&rsquo;s first MQ-9B drones began flight tests on 14 September 2026. The base has also seen two fatal F-16 losses at sea since 2020. Civil flights are sometimes cancelled when the military exercises.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"sat\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Satellite<\/div>\n<h2>Hualien (Chiashan) from above<\/h2>\n<div class=\"satfig\" id=\"satfig\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Enlarge the satellite view\">\n<div class=\"satimg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Hualien Air Base (Chiashan) seen from above\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"satzoom\">Click to enlarge<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satcap\"><b>One runway, 2,750 m of concrete.<\/b><span>Imagery: Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics and the GIS user community<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satlb\" id=\"satlb\"><span class=\"satlbx\">Close<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"satbig\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Hualien Air Base (Chiashan) seen from above, enlarged\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=121.58428,24.00886,121.65128,24.03726\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=1600,743\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}#mfam .satbig{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=121.58629,24.00388,121.64927,24.04224\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=2048,1365\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}@media(max-width:820px){#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=121.60223,24.00886,121.63333,24.03726\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=760,760\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}}<\/style>\n<div id=\"sat-data\" data-js=\"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\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(){var el=document.getElementById(\"sat-data\");var js=decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(el.getAttribute(\"data-js\"))));var sc=document.createElement(\"script\");sc.text=js;document.body.appendChild(sc);})();<\/script><section class=\"pqband\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<figure class=\"pq\">\n<blockquote><p>RF-5E mission accomplished.<\/blockquote><figcaption><b>Colonel Hsu Chun-jung<\/b><span>RF-5E pilot on the final F-5 sortie, reporting to Vice Defence Minister Po Horng-huei<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taiwannews.com.tw\/en\/news\/6149011\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Taiwan News, 4 July 2025<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"glance\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">At a glance<\/div>\n<h2>Hualien Air Base (Chiashan) in numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid three\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Location &amp;

Taiwan went further. Between 1985 and 1993, according to English Wikipedia, the air force tunnelled into the hills west of Hualien&rsquo;s runway to build the Chiashan complex, at a cost of more than NT$27 billion. The same account, citing the Taipei Times and Ian Easton&rsquo;s reporting in The Diplomat, credits it with room for about 200 fighters, ten blast doors leading to the taxiways, an underground hospital and underground fuel stations. None of these figures has been published by the Ministry of National Defense, and they should be read as press estimates.<\/p>\n<p>The logic is geography. Hualien sits on the east coast, with the Central Mountain Range between it and the Taiwan Strait, so aircraft sheltered here are harder to reach at the start of a conflict than those on the western plain. English Wikipedia calls Chiashan one of Taiwan&rsquo;s most important defence installations because it houses the air force&rsquo;s most survivable counter-attack forces; in 2018 the air force sought an automated close-in weapon system to defend it and Chihhang in Taitung.<\/p>\n<p>The mountain is not the whole answer. In September 2026 the ministry announced 22 new hardened aircraft shelters and five transport hangars at Hualien, plus four shelters at Taitung, for NT$6.88 billion between 2027 and 2031, as reported by Taiwan News from the Liberty Times. The same report expects eastern Taiwan to hold 110&ndash;120 F-16Vs once the new Block 70s arrive at Chihhang.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">02<\/span><span>The 5th Wing: from Hangzhou to the Pacific coast<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>The wing&rsquo;s own history, published by the Air Force Command Headquarters, begins with the 5th Group formed at Jianqiao, Hangzhou, in 1936. It moved to Shuangliu in Sichuan in 1939 and to Zhijiang in Hunan in 1943 as part of the Chinese-American Composite Wing, claiming more than 120 Japanese aircraft shot down at a ratio of ten to one and more than 200 destroyed on the ground in a raid on Bailuo airfield. Those are the wing&rsquo;s claims; Japanese figures were not checked.<\/p>\n<p>The unit reached Taiwan in 1948, became the 5th Tactical Fighter Wing in 1953 and claimed its first MiG-15 on 15 October 1955 and 21 MiG-17s by the end of the 1958 strait crisis, again by its own count; the page does not say where it was based at the time. It was renamed the 5th Composite Wing in 1960 and the 401st Tactical Composite Wing in 1976, flying F-104s and F-5s.<\/p>\n<p>In 1998 the wing left Taoyuan for Hualien and converted to the F-16A\/B. Its groups were dissolved on 31 October 2004 and replaced by three combat squadrons. Under the Phoenix Rising upgrade its jets became F-16Vs with new radar and computers; the 100th converted aircraft landed at Hualien on 30 December 2022, and Taiwan News said upgraded jets would be based either at Hualien or at Chiayi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">03<\/span><span>End of the F-5, start of the drones<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>Hualien was the last home of the Northrop F-5 in Taiwan. The first F-5A had arrived on 9 December 1965, AIDC completed the first locally built F-5E on 6 December 1974, and seven F-5Es were converted into RF-5E reconnaissance aircraft in 1997. On 4 July 2025 three RF-5Es and two F-5Fs flew over Hualien for the last time and taxied through a water salute; Colonel Hsu Chun-jung reported &ldquo;RF-5E mission accomplished&rdquo; to Vice Defence Minister Po Horng-huei. The RF-16 took over reconnaissance.<\/p>\n<p>Fourteen months later the base opened a new chapter. General Atomics and air force personnel assembled Taiwan&rsquo;s first two MQ-9B SkyGuardians at Hualien, and they began flight tests on 14 September 2026. Four drones and their ground stations cost NT$21.7 billion, funded from 2022 to 2029; the other two are due in 2027. Taiwan News described their job as long-range, all-weather surveillance of Chinese military movements around the Taiwan Strait.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">04<\/span><span>Readiness under pressure<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>Much of what the public sees of Hualien is exercise. During the Han Kuang 40 war games on 23 July 2024 President Lai Ching-te watched casualty-care drills at Hualien and runway-repair training at Chiashan. A year later, on 11 July 2025, the 5th Wing practised hot refuelling during Han Kuang 41, refuelling F-16s with their engines running so they could return to the air sooner.<\/p>\n<p>The base has also hosted foreign pilots. From mid-October to 3 December 2024 six Mirage 2000-5s and two to three French pilots trained at Hsinchu and then Chiashan, where the 17th Squadron flew as the aggressor; Taiwan News put the annual cost of the Taiwan&ndash;France exchange at nearly NT$50 million. Nature intervenes too: in the magnitude 7.2 Hualien earthquake of April 2024, boarding ladders fell against F-16Vs at Chiashan, and the ministry said all repairs were complete and combat readiness was not affected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"timeline\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Timeline<\/div>\n<h2>Hualien (Chiashan), year by year<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tl\">\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1936<\/div>\n<p>The 5th Group, ancestor of today&rsquo;s wing, is formed at Jianqiao, Hangzhou.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1951<\/div>\n<p>15 May: the Civil Aeronautics Administration establishes Hualien Airport (Wikipedia gives 16 May 1962 as the opening for military and civil use).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1985<\/div>\n<p>Work begins on the Chiashan underground complex, finished in 1993 (English Wikipedia).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1998<\/div>\n<p>The 5th (401st) Wing moves from Taoyuan to Hualien and converts to the F-16.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2004<\/div>\n<p>31 October: the wing&rsquo;s groups are dissolved and three combat squadrons formed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2020<\/div>\n<p>17 November: an F-16 flown by Colonel Chiang Cheng-chih disappears two minutes after take-off from Hualien.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2022<\/div>\n<p>30 December: the 100th F-16 upgraded to F-16V standard lands at Hualien.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2024<\/div>\n<p>April: the Hualien earthquake topples boarding ladders against F-16Vs at Chiashan. 23 July: President Lai visits during Han Kuang 40.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2025<\/div>\n<p>4 July: the last RF-5Es and F-5Fs fly their final sortie. 11 July: hot-refuelling drills during Han Kuang 41.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2026<\/div>\n<p>7 January: F-16V 6700 lost off Fengbin, Hualien County. 8 September: 22 new shelters announced for Hualien. 14 September: MQ-9B flight tests begin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"incidents\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Incidents &amp; stories<\/div>\n<h2>What happened here<\/h2>\n<div class=\"inc\">\n<article>\n<div class=\"incd\">17 November 2020<\/div>\n<h3>Colonel Chiang&rsquo;s F-16<\/h3>\n<p>An F-16 flown by Colonel Chiang Cheng-chih took off from Hualien on the evening of 17 November 2020 and disappeared from radar two minutes later.
