An iconic sculpture on the southern flank of Meilunshan (美崙山) in Hualien City. The entire area was previously controlled by the military, with this bunker guarding the approach to facilities including an oil depot on the hillside above. The military presence ended in the 1990s and the site was decommissioned, which prompted the mayor at the time, Wei Mu-tsun (魏木村), to commission sculptor Yu Wang-chiu (余望秋) to create a statue of Mickey Mouse on the former bunker. The site is also referred to as Hualien Disneyland (花蓮迪士尼).

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.
