A traditional Hakka courtyard house built in 1936 by the Jiang (江) family. It is named after their ancestral home of Zhao’an County in Fujian Province. The outer wings were adapted for tobacco curing and raising livestock, reflecting the family’s agricultural livelihood. It was designated as a city monument in 2016 and seems to be undergoing restoration in the mid-2020s. Not open to the public.

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.
