Officially established in October 2020, the Liji Badlands Geopark is one of Taiwan’s five major geoparks and the first in Taitung County. The badlands terrain is formed by mudstone created during the collision of the Philippine Sea Plate and Eurasian Plate. The park features a trail for visitors to explore the distinctive landscape. As of 2025 the site may be closed to the public due to damage from recent earthquakes in the area. It is also known as Liji Moon World (利吉月世界) after the more popular attraction in rural Kaohsiung.

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.
