A former military dependents’ village established for members of the marine corps in 1965. It was located within the old walled city of Fongshan. It was cleared, likely during an early wave of urban renewal in the 2000s, but traces remain in the form of small art project and informational plaques. Jiancheng Pavilion (見城館), a small museum on site, was originally a health clinic for the community, and the building behind it may have been a kindergarten.

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.
