An office of the hokō or baojia system of community policing dating back to the Japanese colonial era in Gukeng, Yunlin. Although the former residence around back of the police station has been restored and reopened as a café this building seems to remain idle as of 2024. There is also a flagpole base somewhere on the property.

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.
