A former kamikaze airfield built on the outskirts of Beigang, Yunlin, in mid-1944. Two runways (one a decoy) and other features of the airfield have long since been destroyed but the ruins of several facilities remain scattered across the countryside.

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.
