A traditional market leading to the entrance of Guobao Theater (國寶戲院). Scheduled for demolition in 2024 but still standing in early 2026. A watchtower guards the entrance to the market and was once used to tip off vendors and theater workers when police came around for inspection.

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.
