A private residence in Maicuo Village (麥厝村) built in 1980 by Chen Ba (陳八), with distinctive dragon and tiger staircases added in 1983 by a devoted worshipper. The design resembles the famous Dragon and Tiger Pagodas at Lotus Pond in Kaohsiung, though the reason for this choice remains unknown. The building went viral on social media in 2025, drawing visitors to what locals have long considered a unique neighborhood landmark.

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.
