This coastal area was a minor salt production site in the late Qing dynasty era. It was registered by the incoming Japanese authorities in 1901 but the salt fields were destroyed in a flood around 1904. Nowadays there is still some evidence of the former salt fields in satellite view, but it might be difficult to discern on the ground.

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.
