A network of streets in Daxi, Taoyuan, lined with many well-preserved neo-Baroque shophouse façades mostly dating to the 1910s. The old street runs along what is now Heping Road (和平路), Zhongshan Road (中山路), and Zhongyang Road (中央路), with around 22 of the surviving shophouses individually registered as historic buildings.

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.
