Completed in 1935, this well-preserved Japanese colonial era martial arts hall was repurposed for use as the local headquarters of the military police in the post-war era. After the withdrawal of the military police in 2000 it was restored and recognized for its heritage value. It is now home to the Daxi Wood Art Ecomuseum (桃園市立大溪木藝生態博物館).

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.
