A reinforced concrete sluice gate with six water gates built in 1936 by the Chiayi Water Irrigation Association (嘉義郡水利組合) in the settlement of Jiangmuliao (姜母寮), now Fuquan Village (福全里), on the west side of Chiayi City. The gate was designed to dam water from the main drain channel and divert it into the Daxicuo branch line (大溪厝別線) for irrigation. It remained in use through the post-war era until 1978, when it was decommissioned following the rerouting of the central drainage system.

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.
