A dilapidated public housing complex more generally known as Xinwei Market (信維市場). It was completed in the late 1960s or early 1970s as one of around two dozen resettlement projects intended to provide housing for migrants living in mostly illegal housing at the margins of the city.

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.
