An Airbus A300B4–220 decommissioned in 2003 and later relocated here.

Located in coastal Guanyin, Taoyuan, this is one of several scrapyards for breaking down old airplanes in the area. The landowner seem intent on reopening as Changmei Leisure Farm (長美休閒農場), but as of 2024 planes are still being broken down on site. Depending on the time of your visit a fee for photography may be charged, or perhaps you’ll luck out and be able to wander around unsupervised. Note that this is an active scrapyard, not a amusement park, so take appropriate precautions when visiting!

It’s wild that this scrapyard is right across from a row of townhouses.

Curator, Spectral Codex

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.
