A former police garrison in Nanshi (南勢), an Indigenous community on a river terrace above the right bank of the Dajia River (大甲溪) in Heping, where what appears to be the original Japanese colonial era building still stands beside the community development association. The settlement dates to 1927, when colonial authorities relocated households from the Baimao (白毛) and Aleng (阿冷) communities to this site; in 1930 these were merged with a third community into a single village known as Nansei (ナンセイ).

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.
