An old ancestral hall built by the influential Jiang family in 1924. The building fell into disrepair after it was appropriated by the Japanese military and then again by KMT soldiers in the post-war era. Additional damage was suffered during the 921 Earthquake in 1999. It was recognized for its heritage value in 2006 and subsequently restored.

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.
