Built in 1940, this wireless communication station primarily serviced the nearby airbases in Taoyuan. After the war it was eventually converted for use in civilian telecommunications. The site is located within a gated Chunghwa compound and it isn’t clear whether it is open to the public. There also would have been a Shinto shrine on site, so it would be useful to look around for relics.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
