Established in 1921, this salt production site on the north side of Tainan City was in continuous operation until 1996. After it was abolished it was recognized for its heritage value in 2003 and converted into the Saltworks Culture Village (鹽田生態文化村). Several points of interest remain including an old office, now converted into Taijiang Cetacean Museum (台江鯨豚館), while more modern dormitories for salt workers have been effectively abandoned.

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.
