Completed in 1965, this immense building designed in a Chinese renaissance style by Xiu Zelan (修澤蘭) once served as the convention space for the National Assembly of the Republic of China. After this political body was suspended in 2005 the building was slowly opened up to the public, and guided tours are now available. The building famously appears on the 100 NT banknote.

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.
