A historic military village in the Longgang area of Pingzhen and Zhongli. It was established in 1954 to provide accommodation for members of the ROC army retreating from the borderlands of Yunnan. Most of the original village was demolished in the 2000s as residents were upgraded to more modern apartments, but some structures were preserved and transformed into a cultural park.

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.
