A historic commercial street over 300 years old, often called Jinbaoli Old Street (金包里老街) after the original Ketagalan name for the settlement. The only remaining Qing dynasty old street on Taiwan’s north coast, it was a major trading hub for agricultural and fishing goods before the arrival of the modern era. Nowadays it is extensively redeveloped for tourism.

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.
