Yanshan New Village (岩山新村) - Spectral Codex

An ad hoc military dependents’ village built for members of political and security services at the dawn of the martial law era and likely expanded over the 1950s. The security bureau is just up the hill from here. The village has been mostly redeveloped but some old houses and a distinctive wall (唭哩岸石牆) remain.

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.
