The auditorium of Zhenxi Elementary School in Douliu, Yunlin, was constructed during the Japanese colonial era between 1932 and 1935. The original timber walls were rebuilt in reinforced brick in 1971 but the cypress roof trusses were retained. Registered as a historic building in 2006 and comprehensively restored between 2018 and 2019, reopening in time for the school’s 117th graduation ceremony.

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.
