The ruins of one of many Japanese colonial era police garrisons along Beikeng Creek Historic Trail (北坑溪古道) can be found in this area. It was likely established in the early 1920s. Not much remains apart from some impressive rammed earth foundations.

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.
