Built in the 1920s on the ashes of Guanxi Taihe Temple (關西太和宮), this single-storey reinforced-concrete station served first as an office of the hokō system of community policing, then as a local police substation. Hsinchu County Police vacated the building in March 2017 after relocating to a new three-storey complex and the original is undergoing restoration as of 2025, part of a planned heritage art park.

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.
