A former anti-aircraft artillery base on elevated ground in Shalun Village (沙崙里), Dayuan, close to the coastline. It was originally established as a 35mm rapid-fire battery site under the ROCAF Air Defense Artillery Command (空軍防空砲兵司令部), tasked with defending Taoyuan Air Base. Following the relocation of the 401st Tactical Composite Wing to Hualien the 207th Anti-Aircraft Battalion (空軍防砲第207營) took over the compound. The battalion was disbanded on July 1, 2012, part of a Ministry of National Defense force reduction program, and the base has stood idle since. It falls outside the Taoyuan Aerotropolis (桃園航空城) expropriation zone; the Taoyuan City Sports Bureau plans to redevelop the site as a sports and recreation facility.

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.
