Staff quarters for the Fifth Special Police Corps (保安警察第五總隊) in Gangshan built between 1958 and 1959, east of Houhong Elementary School (後紅國小) and just north of Yide South Village. The village has already been depopulated and sealed, leaving dilapidated buildings behind fencing. The site is slated for urban renewal but still stands as of 2025.

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.
