A former Paiwan settlement on a steep slope southeast of Mount Wuwei (武威山) at about 1,150 meters elevation, regarded as the largest Indigenous village in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial era. Colonial authorities encouraged residents to resettle in Taitung to divide the community, and in 1957 those who remained moved under a government plan to present-day Gulou (古樓), led by their chief. The site retains an extensive group of abandoned slate houses along with the ruins of a Japanese colonial era police garrison (駐在所), a memorial to fallen warriors (戰歿勇士之墓), and a skull mound (白骨塚).

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.
