One of around 35 villages set aside for refugees from the Dachen Islands in 1955. This one is located on a hillside along the northeastern shoreline of Keelung. Initially it had 28 households with 93 residents. As the name suggests, this was a village built for fishermen. It is also informally known as Yipao New Village (義胞新村) from the term Righteous Compatriots of Dachen (大陳義胞), an honorific title given to the refugees from the evacuation of the islands.

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.
