Inaugurated as the first geothermal power plant in Taiwan in 1981. It closed in 1993 after corrosion of pipes and other issues greatly reduced its output. For many years it was effectively abandoned and often visited by urban explorers. By the mid-2010s the plant was reactivated.

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.
