A wooden auditorium on the grounds of Jingliao Elementary School (菁寮國小), the oldest school in Houbi, established in 1911 as Jingliao Public School (菁寮公學校). The auditorium itself was built in 1951 as a brick-and-timber structure in a Japanese architectural style and bears the name Zhongzheng Hall (中正堂). The heritage designation also covers a 1956 wooden office building and a stonewashed flagpole base built in 1931; the iron pole was cut down during the World War 2 for use as munitions material.

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.
