A large block of Japanese colonial era dormitories built by the nearby sugar factory in the late 1910s in Huwei, Yunlin. Much of it is left in ruins but the community still earned heritage status in 2015. The area now awaits redevelopment.

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.
