Traces of a former Japanese colonial era police garrison survive high in the mountains of Baxianshan (八仙山), reached after trekking several hours into the forest from the visitor center. The remnants lie along routes taken by hikers tracing the old forest railway that once traversed this rugged terrain. Beyond lies the ruins of Liming Shinto Shrine.

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.
