Yangmingshan and specifically Grass Mountain (草山) is home to a variety of communication facilities. This particular site was established in 1969 and is readily seen from nearby roads owing to the impressive sizes of the various satellite dishes in the enclosure. It is not ordinarily open to the public but on special occasions a tour might be possible. Nowadays it is managed by Chunghwa Telecom (中華電信).

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.
