Staff dormitories for Yuancheng Farm (源成農場), established in 1909 by the Sanwu Company (三五公司) under Aikuzawa Naoya (愛久澤直哉). The farm brought Japanese settlers from Gifu, Kumamoto, and Niigata to cultivate the land, later building a sugar factory that operated from 1932 until the farm’s closure in 1944. At least one dormitory remains standing as of the mid-2020s but it’s in very rough condition.

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.
