An old military dependents’ village established in Taichung’s East District with funding from the Central District Credit Cooperative (中區合作社) around 1957. Originally a mix of single-storey houses and two-storey shophouses for civil servants and teachers, the village has been almost entirely redeveloped into five and six-storey apartment blocks. The roundabout at the intersection of Ziqiang Street and Lixing Road (合作圓環) is the last surviving feature, its clock tower (四面路鐘) a landmark of the vanished past.

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.
