Daxi Taiwu New Village (大溪太武新村) - Spectral Codex
大溪太武新村

A military dependents’ village dating back to the period of USAID in the 1960s. It was built for officers and their families to specifications that were somewhat more generous than many such communities at the time. Although it was mostly abandoned for decades and demolished in the late 2000s and early 2010s some parts have been preserved and recognized for their heritage value.

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.
