One of the more obscure Dachen Islands resettlement villages established in 1955. This one originally had around 68 households with 288 residents who were mainly involved in farming. The village has mostly depopulated over the decades as there were few employment opportunities in the area. Consequently, many of the buildings may be original and unmodified. There also remains a temple of some significance to the local community (威武廟).

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.
