Several Japanese-style wooden houses can be found scattered around the western and northern margins of what is now Erlin Elementary School (二林國小). The building on the west side was the residence of the principal (長宿舍), and after restoration it became the Erlin Sugarcane Farmers Incident Museum (二林蔗農事件紀念館). Since these dormitories are on school grounds you may need to visit outside of regular operating hours.

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.
