One of the 35 original Dachen Islands resettlement villages established in 1955. Initially home to 104 households and 441 residents, most of whom were employed in animal husbandry. Located under the Ligang Bridge (里港大橋). The village is completely depopulated today, with only an old Yangfu Temple (楊府廟) remaining for annual reunions.

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.
