Completed in 1939, this was a guesthouse for visiting dignitaries in the Japanese colonial era in Huwei, Yunlin. During the 228 Incident it was a gathering place for townspeople. It was later used as a dormitory for workers at the nearby courthouse. In 2010 it was recognized for its heritage value.

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.
