One of three elementary schools built for children of forestry workers in and around the mountains in Yilan in the early post-war era. This one opened in 1952 and operated until dwindling attendance forced its closure in 1973. Due to the difficulty of arranging transportation in the remote mountains the school also provided boarding for children, so the site was fairly extensive. This is not an easy place to visit given trail conditions, but it seems possible based on reports by serious hikers. Prepare accordingly!

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.
