A group of six freight warehouses on the north side of Dounan Railway Station, built between 1952 and 1970 during the station’s heyday as a major transit hub for salt, sugar, fertilizer, and other bulk goods. The roof structures trace an evolution from wooden to steel trusses, and the complex also served as a military barracks until 1985, with a dedicated military rail siding still in place. The warehouses were registered as a historic building in 2011 and now operate as the Taliwu Culture Park (他里霧文化園區), housing five exhibition halls.

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.
