A monument on Provincial Highway 9 commemorating Zhōng Ruìlóng (鍾瑞龍), who died at age 28 saving several people from flooding along Matai’an Creek (馬太鞍溪) when Typhoon Nora (颱風娜拉) struck on October 10, 1973. His body was never recovered. Originally a modest stone stele erected by townspeople in 1974, it was relocated and rebuilt on a larger scale when the highway was widened.

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.
