A neo-Baroque mansion in downtown Houlong. It was the residence of Chen Kaiti, former mayor of Miaoli. In 2019 it was due for inspection by culture workers as it was identified as a potential heritage site. In response, the owner quickly had the building demolished, leading to public outcry, but the damage was already done. The site was soon cleared and redeveloped.

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.
