The sole surviving fortification of the Miharashidai Position (見晴臺陣地), a World War 2 Japanese strategic outpost on Wanggaoliao ridge defending the Dadu River estuary. The conical reinforced concrete tower stands 7.85 meters tall with three above-ground levels, each fitted with machine gun portholes, and two subterranean levels once connected by tunnel to the combat command post. Designated a historic building in 2006 as World War 2 No. 13 Bunker but renamed in 2013 after historians properly identified the site.

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.
