Kantoucuo Police Station (崁頭厝警察官吏派出所) was originally established on this site in Gukeng, Yunlin, in 1926 and renamed in the early post-war era. Along with the station, a wooden residence was constructed for staff. It was damaged in the 921 Earthquake and left idle for many years. Restoration work was completed in the 2010s and the residence opened as Yongguang Story House (永光故事屋), a small shop serving coffee, shortly thereafter.

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.
