Tainan Urban Warfare Training Ground 2 (台南城鎮戰訓練場2) - Spectral Codex
台南城鎮戰訓練場2

A mock town (假城鎮) built for urban warfare (城鎮戰) training within a larger army training base in the hills of northern Tainan. The base originally served the army’s mechanized 109th Division, which was garrisoned at Neijiao, and later passed to the army’s southern regional testing and evaluation command. Veterans recall the mock town being rebuilt to a high standard sometime in the 1990s, with a post office and shops carrying proper signage; camp grounds and live fire ranges lie further into the valley beyond it. The facility remains in service and is closed to the public.
