This entire block was the center of the consignment trade in the late 20th century. Keelung, as a major port, would receive foreign goods that were resold here. Nowadays, with globalization, there’s no real need for such an area, and so many of these shops have been converted into boutiques, cafés, and restaurants.

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.
