An abandoned church in the village of Chukow (觸口村) in the foothills of Alishan. Built in 1960 based on a design by SVD Father Friedrich Linzenbach (1904–1981), who was also responsible for the architectural plan for Fu Jen Catholic University (輔仁大學).

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.
