Dongshi Sugarcane Procurement Office (東勢原料區辦公室) - Spectral Codex

A post-war brick and wood office building with a hip roof in Dongshi, Yunlin, still in use by the sugarcane procurement division of Huwei Sugar Factory. The colonial era “raw materials collection zone” system restricted where sugarcane could be processed, a structure that persists largely unchanged today. Inside, a large blackboard tracks annual sugarcane planting progress across planned, contracted, and actual acreage. Huwei remains one of only two operational sugar refineries in Taiwan as of the mid-2020s.

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.
