An urban resettlement village built for refugees from the Dachen Islands retreat in 1955. Initially there were 120 households with 433 residents in this village, and most were employed in a nearby bamboo weaving factory (竹織工廠). There appears to be a small museum to village history (大陳文物館) at the southern entrance, near where an arch can be seen in a laneway.

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.
