A munitions factory originally established in Nanjing, China, in 1936. It relocated to Taipei after ROC forces fled the mainland in 1949, occupying a facility already built by the Japanese. The arsenal became an important hub for dozens of military dependents’ villages in what is now Xinyi. In 1980 it was relocated to Sanxia and the original facility was decommissioned and eventually demolished to make way for the Xinyi Planning Area, the business district now anchored by Taipei 101 and the Taipei World Trade Center.

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.
