A military dependents’ village in Daxi established in 1957 with donations from overseas Chinese. A stone monument originally inscribed with calligraphy by Soong Mei-ling marked the entrance. The original was lost during the redevelopment of the village into modern apartment blocks but a pair of replicas now stand at the entrance to the community.

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.
