Completed in 1930, this monument commemorated the rule of Governor-General Sakuma Samata (佐久間左馬太), famous for his brutal subjugation of Taiwan’s Indigenous people. In the post-war era it was dismantled and converted into Fuxing Pavilion (復興亭) but the stone base remains.

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.
