One of many airbases built by the Japanese in the later part of World War 2, likely at the end of 1944. It was likely a simple runway with a handful of auxiliary buildings as it mainly served as an alternate to the much larger airbase in Shuinan, a little further west. It was rapidly dismantled after the war and all but vanished by 1959. The site was later converted into Pinglin Army Base (坪林營區) and National Chin-Yi University of Technology (國立勤益科技大學). Also known as Sanbian Airfield (三汴機場) in some sources.

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.
