A first-class, second-generation post office established in central Chiayi City in 1939. Operations moved to the newer administrative building immediately to the east in 2006 after its heritage value was recognized in 2004. Renovations finally began in 2021, stripping off the characteristic green tile of the postal service to reveal the original façade along Wenhua Road (文化路).

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.
