A traditional residence known as Jimei Hall (濟美堂), built in 1927 for Lin Lu (林爐, 1892–1951) during his tenure as Erlin’s second township chief and head of the local credit cooperative. Lin was a prominent businessman who also filed petitions on behalf of farmers during the 1925 Erlin Sugarcane Farmers Incident. Now abandoned due to an ongoing dispute between descendants.

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.
