Completed in 1935, this red-brick market in Beidou was originally established as a temporary market in 1899. Built according to a square plan with four corner entrances and a central courtyard, the building was reputedly the most prosperous market in southern Changhua until commerce relocated to other parts of town in the post-war decades. A 2003 electrical fire destroyed the wooden roof framework, leaving only the red-brick shell, which the Ministry of Economic Affairs restored and reopened in 2004. The surviving complex was designated a historic building in 2008.

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.
