Site of a Japanese colonial era artillery position on a slope high above the Da’an River (大安溪) in the mountains of Tai’an. The Government-General installed two guns here in 1911, during Sakuma Samata’s (佐久間左馬太) campaign to subjugate the Beishi group (北勢群) of the Tayal, and named the battery after Maruta Kiyoshi (丸田清), a police officer killed in the fighting. Nothing of the guns survives, but the stacked stone supply road from the former Erbensong Police Garrison (二本松駐在所) still runs through a Japanese cedar plantation, and an interpretive station at the trailhead houses a small museum documenting the battery and the frontier militia line it protected.

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.
