The former official residence of the Yunlin County magistrate, situated along the Yunlin River (雲林溪) in Douliu, Yunlin. The compound was originally enclosed by high walls and included extensive gardens. It sat within a broader post-war government precinct of military dormitories and police housing along the riverbank. In 2007 the walls were torn down and the building was converted into the Yunlin County Magistrate Children’s Club (雲林官邸兒童館), a public venue for families with children.

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.
