Former radiotelegraph station built in the fields east of Yilan City in 1929. It was an important communication link with Japan by way of Okinawa in the late colonial era. The site is still in use by Chunghwa Telecom but it is unclear whether any historic relics remain on site.

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.
