A two-storey modernist bus station built in Dounan in 1952 for the Directorate General of Highways (交通部公路總局), one of few surviving structures from the early post-war era of motor transportation in Taiwan. It seems likely it was later turned over to the state-owned motor transport company but was later left derelict. Registered as a Yunlin County historic building in 2015 and lightly restored in 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.
