A weathered stone monument on the Xikou Terrace (溪口台) in Fuxing, commemorating the irrigation canal completed there in 1928 during the Japanese colonial era. Built over two years of arduous labour by local Tayal villagers under a Japanese policeman named Yamato (大和), the canal turned the terrace into a model district for wet-rice cultivation. Its front inscription was defaced in the post-war era.

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.
