A relatively luxurious countryside residence in Erlin that belonged to Hong Ruotan (洪若潭), who ran a factory making adhesive tape in the Changhua Coastal Industrial Park. In September 2001 he and his wife were found dead in a small incinerator in the garden, leaving letters claiming they had killed their three adult children and scattered the ashes at sea. No trace of the children was ever found and a court declared them deceased in 2009.

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.
