A cluster of sea caves along the coast of Changbin, Taitung, and one of Taiwan’s most significant archaeological sites. The caves contain evidence of the Changbin Culture (長濱文化), Taiwan’s oldest known prehistoric culture dating back over 30,000 years. Designated a national archaeological site in 2006. After a long battle with temples occupying the caves most were cleared in 2017.

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.
