Tjuvecekadan (老七佳部落) - Spectral Codex
老七佳部落

A Paiwan Indigenous village at 570 meters elevation on the western slopes of the sacred Shikejan Mountain. The settlement preserves nearly 50 traditional Northern Paiwan stone slab houses, among the best-preserved in Taiwan. Residents were forcibly relocated in 1958 and again after Typhoon Rita in 1972, but began returning to restore the village in 2001. Traditional ceremonies are still held on-site and the community returns regularly to maintain the ancestral structures.

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.
