Originally built in 1962 as Touliao Guesthouse (頭寮賓館) on land donated by the prominent Banqiao Lin family (板橋林家), this courtyard-style building later served as a presidential archives room storing classified documents and Chiang family records. After the death of President Chiang Ching-kuo in January 1988, his remains were interred here and the site was renamed Daxi Mausoleum. The red-tiled, black-walled compound backs onto Caoling Mountain and faces the Dahan River, about one kilometer from the elder Chiang’s own resting place at Cihu Mausoleum (慈湖陵寢). In 2025 the Ministry of National Defense formally reclassified the site as Daxi Camp (大溪營區), removing the mausoleum designation.

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.
