Founded as a privately-owned sugar factory in 1913. After the war it was nationalized and operations continued. Starting in 1992 many functions were relocated to other factories and by 1995 operations had ceased. As of 2024 some effort is being undertaken to transform it into a tourist attraction.

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.
