Wanlideshan Helipad (萬里得山停機坪) - Spectral Codex
萬里得山停機坪

Wanlideshan (萬里得山) tops out at 518 meters in height, making it the highest peak in Kenting National Park. It was counted among Taiwan’s Lesser Hundred Peaks until 2017, when its position inside the Nanren Mountain Ecological Reserve (南仁山生態保護區) saw it delisted in favor of a more accessible summit to the south. A crumbling military road climbs to the summit, where an abandoned helipad and a derelict microwave relay tower are slowly being reclaimed by the surrounding forest.

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.
