A well-preserved courtyard home on the northern outskirts of Fengyuan. Construction was initiated by Zhang Shixi (張始習) and, after his passing in 1872, completed the following year by his sons. It shows a mixture of Hakka and Minnan craftsmanship. Registered as a heritage site in 2004 and neatly restored in 2020.

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.
