A disused public market building in Dali. The ground floor market is not in use but there is a public library on the upper levels. Although previously identified as a mosquito hall, it appears to have been revitalized in the late 2010s.

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.
