Tainan Radio Station (臺南電臺) - Spectral Codex
臺南電臺
Tianma Radio Station (臺南天馬電臺)

An important Cold War radio facility in Tainan. For decades it broadcast over shortwave radio to the entirety of the People’s Republic of China, but heading into the 21st century, it was increasingly seen as an anachronism and eventually abolished under the Ma administration in 2013. Since then the facility has been mostly abandoned, although there is occasionally talk of cleaning up the site and turning it into a historic attraction of some kind.

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.
