Bajialiao Urban Warfare Training Ground (八甲寮城鎮戰訓練場) - Spectral Codex

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.
