Established around 1949 in some buildings leftover by the Japanese military. It was officially registered with 97 households but the scope of the village became much larger as people flooded in to support both the airbase to the north and the army barracks to the south. There has been considerable turnover in the village and it is now a much more mixed community. There was also a major theater in the area, but it is behind the walls of the army base immediately to the south.

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.
