Built in 1944, this was the last radio broadcasting bureau established in Japanese colonial Taiwan. It was seized by the KMT after the war and only returned to state ownership after a court case in 2015. Since then it was recognized as a historic building and underwent restoration work, eventually opening to the public as a small 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.
