One of approximately 35 areas set aside for residents of the Dachen Islands after they were evacuated to Taiwan in 1955. There were approximately 159 households with 722 residents in total not long after it was established. Due to the remote location nearly all of the original residents and their families have since emigrated.

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.
