An ornate Japanese colonial era residence with a neo-Baroque façade completed by wealthy local businessman Huang Qingbo (黃清波) between 1924 and 1926. It is a four-sided structure with an inner courtyard. The overall design typifies a Chinese, Japanese, and Western fusion not uncommon among the gentry at that time. Also known as Dajia Dehua Village Huang Residence (大甲德化里黃宅).

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.
