Constructed in 1926, it was one of eleven large-scale granaries built by the Japanese colonial government. It was listed as a potential heritage site in April 2016 but the farmers’ association almost immediately began demolition work. Public outcry and an official court order halted the destruction but only one third of the original structure remains. As of 2025 it is undergoing restoration.

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.
