One of three communities built for evacuees from the Dachen Islands in 1955. It was located in Fengtian Village (豐田里) on the outskirts of the city and originally had around 61 households and 137 residents. Since it was far from the seashore many villages harvested pineapples to make ends meet. Most of the original villagers left long ago, so the identity of the settlement has become more indistinct, and the exact location isn’t even known with certainty.

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.
