Maoyi No. 6 Village (貿易六村) - Spectral Codex

Established in 1959, initially as Lukong New Village (陸空新村) for its mixed army and air force residents. It was renamed Maoyi No. 6 Village (貿易六村) after the Women’s Anti-Communist League funded its construction with donations from Taiwan’s import and export traders. Five rows of single-storey terraced houses held 48 households, later expanded to 59. The original wattle-and-daub buildings were rebuilt with brick in the 1970s, with residents extending the cramped ten-ping units to the rear and above. Administered by the Air Force’s 737th Wing, the village was demolished in 2004 and its residents relocated to Chenggong Public Housing (成功國宅).

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.
