Completed in 1922, this Japanese-style wooden residence was originally built for staff working at the nearby Hsinchu High School (新竹中學). Born in Guangdong, Hsin Chih-Ping (辛志平) became principal of the school after the war, and was famous for his achievements there. His former residence is now restored and operates as a small restaurant and museum.

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.
