A marine outpost, also known as Stronghold 51, hollowed out of a granite reef jutting into the sea west of Renai (仁愛) in Nangan, Matsu. It was built like the nearby Dahan Stronghold to guard the Juguang Channel (莒光水道) against People’s Liberation Army speedboats. Its tunnels lead to gun ports, machine gun nests, sleeping quarters, a kitchen, and toilets, and the surrounding rocks were studded with broken glass to ward off raiders. It was also one of the few outposts to keep guard dogs, whose kennels survive.

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.
