An unusual country residence hand-fashioned by Yang Xiang (楊相) in the 1970s or 1980s. The gatehouse resembles a peacock and the house is actually an island in the pond accessible only by drawbridge. Apparently some of the builder’s relatives still live in the structure, but it might be worth a look anyway.

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.
