A former military dependents’ village located in Guishan inaugurated in 1965. It was home to over 1,000 households at its peak. 70 households were allocated for refugees from the Dachen Islands, who were normally sequestered in their own villages. In 2001 the entire community was demolished and rebuilt into a public housing complex (陸光新城國宅社區). Some military equipment is now on display on the south side of the community.

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.
