Baiyun Xianju Miniature Kingdom (草屯白雲仙居小人國) - Spectral Codex
草屯白雲仙居小人國

Originally established by a local farmer, Lin Longde (林隆德), who built a small version of the Great Wall on an empty lot on his property deep in the mountains in Caotun, Nantou. Many of the miniatures follow a Chinese theme with terracotta soldiers and folk religious figures. The park was heavily damaged in the 921 Earthquake and left to the elements for decades. As of 2021 it is difficult to access and almost completely overgrown with weeds, but the sculptures remain beneath the foliage. The site is approximately 60 square meters in size.

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.
