A Japanese colonial era public school in the Wengzi (翁子) area of Fengyuan, established as an independent school in 1928. The surviving brick classroom building dates to 1933, rebuilt after the 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung Earthquake, and stands alongside a contemporaneous Japanese wooden dormitory. Zhang Shuwang (張樹旺), a teacher who lived in the dormitory, was arrested in 1950 and later executed during the White Terror.

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.
