Located on the north side of Hsinchu Park (新竹公園) and completed in 1936, this was originally an association hall (新竹州自治會館). In the post-war era it was repurposed for various uses, including an office for US military advisors. Since 1995 it has been home to a museum celebrating Hsinchu’s glass industry.

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.
