The last remaining oil depot from the US military period in Taiwan. Built in the 1960s, it supplied fuel to the US military during the Vietnam War. Abandoned in the late 1970s after the American withdrawal. It was recognized for its heritage value in 2012 and restored by 2021. Nowadays there is an entire park developed around the oil depot and some additional military equipment is also on display.

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.
