A historic 382.2 meter-long iron truss bridge spanning the Dajia River. Constructed during the Japanese colonial period and completed in 1908, the impressive steel structure was a vital transportation link until the Old Mountain Line was decommissioned in 1998. Now recognized as a historic building, it also serves as part of the Houfeng Bikeway (后豐鐵馬道).

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.
