An old health clinic dating back to the Japanese colonial era. It seems as if it was the place for women working in the “special” industries to get checked out, but details are scant. After the war it was repurposed for use as a police station and later converted into a museum and then a youth community center (新竹市政府青少年館).

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.
