The '''Yangmingshan American Military Housing''' is a historical site located in [[Yangmingshan]], [[Taipei]], [[Taiwan]]. It is located on a 13.88 hectare plot of land near the [[Chinese Culture University]] in Shanzihou(山仔后) with around 150 old American buildings in various states of preservation. |
|||
==History== |
|||
In 1950, the [[United States]] began stationing large numbers of troops on [[Taiwan]] in order to provide training, support, and economic aid to the [[Republic of China]]. In order to provide housing for the American military officers based in Taiwan, the United States built residences for them. The largest remaining intact group of residences is located in Yangmingshan. |
|||
When the United States severed official diplomatic relations with the [[Republic of China]] in 1978, the houses were abandoned. However, the [[Bank of Taiwan]] began renting out the houses to locals, including such noted people as [[Lin Yang-kang]] and [[Stan Lai]].<ref>[http://www.taiwan-panorama.com/show_issue.php?id=2006129512106C.TXT&table=0&cur_page=5&distype= Life in the Mountains. Sinorama.]</ref> |
|||
The former Armed Forces Network Taiwan (now called [[International Community Radio Taipei|ICRT]]) was also located in the area until the year 2000, when it relocated to [[Taipei City]]. |
