A small hydroelectric plant in the Shapodang area built by the Karenkō Electric Company (花蓮港電氣株式會社) between 1926 and 1928. Originally named the Karenkō No. 2 Hydroelectric Station to distinguish it from the earlier No. 1 plant upstream. The intake channel was destroyed by flooding in 1944 and, with Japan unable to effect repairs during the final stages of the Pacific War, the plant never returned to service. Decommissioned by Taipower shortly after the war.

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.
