Completed in 1943, this former radiotelegraph station provided communications for the nearby airbases toward the end of World War 2. In the post-war era it was repurposed as an archive for documents related to the ROC Air Force, but as of 1970 seems to have been left to the elements. With the dismantling of the surrounding Feiyan New Village (飛雁新村) in the late 2000s it was awarded heritage status and now awaits some kind of restoration work. Also known by the name Chuanyuan Communications Office (傳原通訊所).

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.
