Toucheng Octagonal Observation Deck (頭城濱海森林公園廢墟八角瞭望台) - Spectral Codex
頭城濱海森林公園廢墟八角瞭望台

Completed in 1991 as part of a set of facilities on a beach in Toucheng. An embankment constructed at the nearby Wushi Port (烏石港) in 2001 altered local currents and greatly increased beach erosion until there was almost nothing left along this shore, causing visitor numbers to plummet. The site was effectively abandoned in 2015 but later became popular as an Instagram check-in spot.

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.
