Initially established just west of Houzishan (猴子山) in 1955, this Dachen Islands settlement was relocated to its current position in 1970 due to construction of the nearby airbase. Initially it was home to 107 households with 444 residents, the majority of whom were fishermen. It has also been known as Yushan New Village (漁山新村), for residents came from the Yushan Island (漁山島); Jigang New Village (集岡新村); and Jixing New Village (集興新村) at various points.

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.
