Japanese colonial era martial arts hall established in 1937. After the war it was heavily renovated for government use as the Fangliao Household Affairs Office (枋寮戶政事務所). Only in the 2017, while the government relocated to a more modern venue, was it recognized for its heritage value and registered as a historic building. As of 2024 it appears to be undergoing restoration work.

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.
