The crumbling ruins of the former butokuden (martial arts hall) in Guanshan, Taitung, can be seen in the tall grass immediately south of the police station. It was likely known as Lilong Martial Arts Hall (里壟武德殿) while it was still in use. This second-generation martial arts hall was completed in 1934.

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.
