A post-war salt storage and transshipment facility built alongside Longtian Railway Station in Guantian. Six brick salt warehouses were constructed here between 1956 and 1973, receiving shipments from the Qigu (七股) and Beimen (北門) salt fields arriving via narrow-gauge sugar railway lines before being forwarded north on the TRA. The operation wound down in the 1970s as road transport displaced rail, and the distribution office was disbanded in 1982. The site sat idle for decades before reopening in 2022 as the Long Tian Cha Cha Cultural Heritage Education Park (隆田chacha文化資產教育園區), a family-friendly attraction on the grounds of the restored warehouses.

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.
