The location of the prison can be found on the Hidden Taiwan Map, along with directions to it. It is not marked on maps at Dapinglin MRT. This should be a more frequented site. Perhaps, as I've seen written, the KMT are indeed embarrassed by it and keep it low profile. But the Green Island counterpart is usually full of people. Maybe it's simply too out of the way for many people to bother, or too somber for a family day out. Nevertheless, I highly recommend visiting for a little more understanding of a dark part of Taiwan's history.

On a lighter note a number of these strange sayings and totally unrelated pictures appear above the urinals in the men's bathroom. I saw the same ones in Green Island Prison, and it was quite bizarre to see them again. Someone from the heritage group clearly has a pet project. The adventures that make up these entries are often posted as Instagram stories at tomrookart first. So give that a follow too if you like as it can sometimes be a year or more before stuff turns up here! I keep this project free of intrusive ads but it does take up a fair bit of time.
