A landfill completed in 2001, shortly after a waste incinerator went online in Houli. Lost Society Document, an organization investigating government mismanagement of public funds, identified it as a “mosquito hall”, noting that awarding a contract for a landfill was nonsensical when an incinerator was already planned. Idle for the better part of two decades, it is now used to store what appears to be construction 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.
