A well in Tucheng (土城), Annan, locally said to have been dug by the Dutch East India Company garrison monitoring the Lu’ermen channel in the 17th century. The attribution is oral tradition rather than formally documented, and the site has no official heritage designation. The surrounding grounds were developed into a small commemorative park by local resident Chen Shunliang (陳順涼), who claims descent from a grain official in Koxinga’s forces. Further restoration was completed in late 2024.

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.
