A municipal waste-to-energy plant in Beitou, on the northern margins of Taipei, built between 1990 and 1999 and processing some 1,800 tons of trash per day. What sets it apart from other incinerators in Taiwan is the candy-striped 150 meter-tall exhaust stack which features a public observation deck and a revolving restaurant.

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.
