Originally established in 1912, this is the last of nine remaining Japanese colonial era horse ranches in Taiwan, and the only one fully devoted to military training. In the post-war period it was taken over by the ROC army for use as a breeding and training facility for traditional cavalry. In 1997 it was turned over to the private sector and the site is now managed as a tourist attraction. Numerous traces of its Japanese colonial origins can still be found on site.

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.
