Takuran Airfield (卓蘭飛行場) - Spectral Codex

A former Japanese colonial era airfield located in the Lixiping (壢西坪) area of Zhuolan. It was constructed very late into the war, likely around October 1944, and might have only been a dummy airfield with no operational aircraft, only planes made out of bamboo. Aerial photos from the 1960s show no evidence of the airfield; it was likely dismantled shortly after the war, and no trace remains.
