This unassuming farmhouse in rural Erchonggang (二重港) is the former residence of business magnate Hou Yu-li (侯雨利, 1900–1989), known as Hâu ú-lī in Hokkien, who at various times could be said the richest man in Taiwan. Although it has long been derelict a commemorative plaque was installed by future president Lai Ching-te (賴清德) in 2015.

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.
