A small ROCAF village of 46 households built in 1950 along Shuangshi Road Sec. 2 Lane 38 (雙十路二段38巷) in North District, Taichung. It housed staff of the Air Force Engine Manufacturing Factory (空軍發動機製造廠) and several allied industrial and technical bureaus. The original dwellings were two-room structures with bamboo-frame walls under tile roofs, progressively rebuilt in brick by residents from 1962. All units stood along a single lane. After housing reforms residents were rehoused at Luguang No. 7 Village (陸光七村). Depopulated by the mid-2000s, the village was mostly demolished by the early 2010s.

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.
