A two-storey guesthouse built in 1969 at the highest point of Fushoushan Farm, where Chiang Kai-shek said he came to “contemplate national affairs” (思考國家大事). It overlooks Tianchi (天池), a small pond that never dries up despite its mountaintop location, which attracts Taoist worshippers. Together with Fushoushan Villa (福壽山莊) and nearby Songlu Villa (松廬), the Chiang family maintained three guesthouses on this one mountain.

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.
