One of around 35 settlements built for refugees from the Dachen Islands in 1955. Initially this village was home to 146 households and 526 residents. Not much remains in the 2010s apart from a bronze bust of Chiang Kai-shek in a small roundabout and many dilapidated houses.

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.
