A back country facility built for urban warfare (城鎮戰) training in Guanmiao, Tainan. The complex comprises several reinforced concrete buildings, some as tall as three storeys, and once hosted army and marine units for urban combat training rotations. It appears to have been decommissioned sometime in the mid-2010s, though this is not certain, and a facility sign still stands beside the road as of 2026. As this remains military land, entry is not permitted.

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.
