A stone tea pavilion (茶亭) along a historic trail over Guandaoshan (關刀山) between Tongluo and Dahu. The pavilion was built in 1923 by donations gathered by a Tongluo resident, Liu Laiwang (劉來旺), and constructed by the master craftsman Liao Arong (廖阿榮) with local sandstone and glutinous-rice mortar to provide shelter for porters and travelers resting on long overland journeys before the arrival of motor roads. The pavilion was damaged in the 921 Earthquake of 1999, designated a county monument in 2001, and restored in 2005.

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.
