A Japanese colonial era residence in the vicinity of the Nanguo official residence cluster, its architectural style suggesting it belonged to local gentry or a wealthy merchant. The original owner remains unknown, though land records hint at possible connections to Li Chongli (李崇禮). A plaque inside praises a supervisor named Bosen (伯森) for his integrity. After the war the building was appropriated as a dormitory for single employees of the Changhua County Government, obscuring its original identity.

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.
