A former martial arts hall built for training the guards at the nearby prison. It was completed in 1935 and converted into staff dormitories in the post-war period. It was left in an extremely dilapidated state in the early 2010s but was eventually restored by the early 2020s.

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.
