Constructed in 1922, this wooden railway station in Guanshan, Taitung, was in use until it was decommissioned in 1980, part of the modernization of the Taitung Line (臺東線). Nowadays it enjoys a second life as a cyclist rest stop, emblazoned with the original Japanese name, Lilong Station (里壠驛), over the entrance.

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.
