A former military base on the outskirts of Miaoli City. It was previously the site of Byōritsu Airfield (苗栗飛行場), with the name being Japanese for Miaoli. In the post-war era it was converted into an infantry base. The base was decommissioned in the early 2000s and has been abandoned ever since, awaiting some plan from the county government. While all facilities have been razed, an auditorium with the name Wenkang Center (文康中心) can still be seen from the highway on Google Street View in history mode near the southern end of the base.

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.
