Completed in 1933, this large public hall served as an events space during the Japanese colonial era. In the post-war era it was renamed Zhongshan Hall (中山堂) and for much of the 1950s it was appropriated for use by the city council. It was registered as a heritage site in 2003 and, after a light restoration, now operates as Changhua Art Museum (彰化藝術館).

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.
