A community established for refugees from the Dachen Islands in 1955, one of around 35 in Taiwan. Initially it was home to 40 households and 146 residents, most of whom worked at a market (市場) that has long since closed. Although the precise location of the community is not specified, it is commonly described as being next to Jingcha New Village.

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.
