Completed in 1996, this is the highest memorial to the 228 Incident and victims of the White Terror in Taiwan. It commemorates the persecution of Tsou Indigenous leaders by the ROC government during the early post-war period. Several community leaders were executed in 1954 after providing material support during the uprising.

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.
