Hsinchu Zhongzhen New Village (新竹空軍忠貞新村) - Spectral Codex

A former military village constructed for ROCAF engineers over a period from 1954 until 1961. At its peak it had around 218 households. Many residents moved to more modern apartments in 1975, hollowing out the old community, and it was later demolished in the 2010s. A small stone monument still marks the entrance to 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.
