An old courtyard house also known as the Wen family residence (溫家古厝), with a door plaque dated 1935 and some components of Qing dynasty origin. The city placed it under provisional protection in January 2018 and the owners demolished it two weeks later, on the morning of Lunar New Year’s Eve, before an inspection could take place. The second hall and courtyard were nonetheless recognized for their heritage value in 2019, and the owners were prosecuted.

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.
