One of 35 villages established for Dachen Islands residents after they retreated to Taiwan in 1955. This one originally had 108 households and 359 residents mostly engaged in farming. It is located immediately to the south of Baimu New Village (百畝新村). Both villages were mainly populated by Minnan-speaking people from Nanji Island (南麂島).

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.
