Former residence of the district leader of Fenglin in Japanese colonial times. It was later the residence of a principal of a local school. After recognizing its heritage value the cultural bureau transformed it into a small museum to the many school principals originating in Fenglin. There is also a ritual paper incinerator outside, a nod to Fenglin’s strong Hakka roots, but if I’m not mistaken, it’s a replica. No English on site.

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.
