An office building for Indigenous affairs in Hualien established in 1984. It was abandoned around 2009, apparently due to a lack of funding. This site was popularized by Lost Society Document, a team of investigators documenting “mosquito museums”, egregious cases of government mismanagement of public funds.

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.
