A cluster of dormitories along Zhengxin Road Lane 189 (正信路189巷) in Keelung managed by the Keelung City Tax Bureau (基隆市稅務局). The history is uncertain, but the building style suggests construction in the 1950s or early 1960s. The overall character of the settlement resembles a military dependents’ village, with propaganda slogans painted on the outer walls. Originally seven blocks, but some have been demolished. Several dozen households remain, though most residents moved out long ago.

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.
