Established in 1950, this community was designed for members of the US military stationed in the area. Altogether 217 dormitories were constructed in a southern American style over subsequent years. Many of these old houses have been restored and converted into cafés, restaurants, and even homestays.

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.
