An obscure and tiny bridge over an irrigation canal in the countryside south of Dongshi. Built in 1941. It is also the site of a traditional laundry; villages wash clothes and vegetables in the waters of the canal. Immediately adjacent is Yueheng Gate (月恆門), originally built to protect this Hakka village. Several slots in the gate would have accommodated gun barrels long ago.

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.
