A Japanese military airfield built 1941–1942 and steadily dismantled after the war. The military retained part of the original runway for use as Chaozhou Parachute Training Ground (潮州空降場). Apart from that, a bomb-proof communication station (耐爆通信所) and an octagonal command center (八角形的耐爆指揮所) can still be found in the fields around the former airbase.

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.
