A remote coastal shortwave radio station in Kouhu, Yunlin, the last one operating in Taiwan. Due to coastal subsidence much of the area is now underwater, leading to scenes like the floating power poles (水上電線桿) stretching out into Hukou Wetlands (湖口溼地). The facility is not open to the public.

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.
