A large military dependents’ village of 600 households built in the Fuzhou (浮洲) area of Banqiao in 1957. It was established with the sponsorship of Soong Mei-ling (蔣宋美齡) and the National Women’s League (婦聯會) and was intended as a model village. It was almost completely destroyed by flooding from Shimen Reservoir (石門水庫) during Typhoon Gloria (葛樂禮颱風) in 1963. The site was later redeveloped into the Banqiao Veterans Home (板橋榮家).

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.
