A reinforced concrete arch bridge on Baguashan in Changhua, built in 1950 to replace a Japanese colonial era suspension bridge that once linked the former Changhua Shinto Shrine with a monument to Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa later replaced by the Great Buddha statue. It is named for its sponsor Changhua Bank (彰化商業銀行) and was registered as a historic building in 2003.

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.
