A cluster of Japanese colonial era buildings established in 1936 as the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Taiwan Sericulture Improvement Station (農林省蠶業試驗場臺灣飼育所). Located in central Dahu, Miaoli, the complex includes silkworm breeding rooms, dormitories, and wooden structures with original black tile roofs and cypress rain boards. It is now used as a biological pest control research center, although many historic buildings remain preserved on the gated grounds. It is open to the public during regular hours.

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.
