Four Japanese colonial era brick and timber dormitories on the grounds of Beichen Elementary School, including the principal’s residence. The school was originally established as Hokko Girls’ Public School (北港女子公學校) in 1927, later renamed Miyamae Public School (宮前公學校) and Miyamae National School (宮前國民學校) before adopting its present name after the war. Among the few Japanese colonial era public school dormitory complexes remaining in the Beigang area. Currently awaiting restoration.

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.
