A contentious monument to the fallen heroes of the Sino-French War. It was originally built during the Japanese colonial era but later removed by the authorities. The KMT found it useful to re-establish a connection with the Qing dynasty and rebuilt it in the 1950s.

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.
