A small machine gun bunker on Jilongzaishan (雞籠仔山), the hilltop beside the former British Consulate, reportedly built in 1944 to guard the harbour entrance. The city restored the site in 2019, leaving the bunker mostly buried and ringed by a wooden viewing platform at the top of a short trail.

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.
