五坑山砲台

The crumbling ruins of an old fort on top of Wukengshan can still be seen along the hiking trail (總督嶺步道) running through here. It might have been a Qing dynasty era defensive position built during the Sino-French War and later improved by the Japanese, but it seems likely to have been abandoned early in the 20th century as military positions in the Keelung area were consolidated.

Author

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.
