A restaurant on the eastern outskirts of Douliu, Yunlin, built in a fantastical style loosely inspired by Gaudí and Moorish architecture. The complex features mosaic-tiled turrets, a long reflecting pool, and vivid polychrome surfaces throughout. It is a notable example of the idiosyncratic architectural projects that occasionally appear in rural Taiwan, far removed from any obvious commercial or cultural context.

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.
