Dongshan Amusement Park (東山樂園) was a water-themed park in the hills of Dakeng (大坑) that opened in 1988, in the same wave of development that produced nearby Katoli’s World and Encore Garden. Its main draws were a cluster of water rides amidst elaborate landscaping modelled on the karst scenery of Guilin and a towering statue of Guanyin. It closed in 2008, unable to withstand competition, and sat idle until Hione International Development (海灣國際開發) acquired the property in 2013 for NT$280 million. The site reopened in July 2020 as Hione World (海灣樂世界), a pet-themed park promoted as the largest of its kind in Asia.

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.
