An ancestral hall for the Qiu (邱) family of Bade completed in 1936. It was later requisitioned by the Japanese air force and used as a dormitory and medical facility due to its proximity to a nearby airbase. It is also referred to as the Japanese Kamikaze Captain’s Residence (日本神風特攻隊隊長駐所). After the war it was reclaimed by the Qiu family. In 2019 it was recognized for its heritage value.

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.
