The reference point for calculating elevations across Taiwan. First established in 1902 during the Japanese colonial period at Dashawan (大沙灣), the benchmark has been relocated several times, most recently in 2014 to a small park opposite the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology in Badouzi. A stone monument marks the site of the benchmark.

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.
