A small 100 year-old wind lion mounted in an alcove on a wall in central Xifang Village (西方村). It shouldn’t be too hard to find as there are small signs showing where it is located.

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.
