Green Island White Terror Memorial Park (白色恐怖綠島紀念園區) - Spectral Codex
白色恐怖綠島紀念園區

A former political prison complex on Green Island (綠島) now preserved as a memorial park under the National Human Rights Museum. The site encompasses the 1950s New Life Correction Center (新生訓導處), where over a thousand political prisoners were detained during the White Terror period, and the 1970s Oasis Villa (綠洲山莊), a high-walled prison built after the 1970 Taiyuan Incident to consolidate political prisoners from across Taiwan. Following the end of martial law in 1987 the facilities were decommissioned and gradually converted into exhibition spaces; the human rights monument, inscribed with the names of White Terror victims, was unveiled in 1999. The park was registered as a cultural landscape in 2014.

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.
