Established in 1899, this area was an official red-light district in Keelung. After the war the brothels were closed but the area continued to be occupied by disadvantaged people. Some original structures remain, most notably the former management office for the district.

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.
