Established as a third-class post office in Ligang in 1938. There is a reinforced concrete office on the main road with a wooden dormitory in the back, presumably for the postmaster. It continued to serve as a post office in the post-war era but operations moved to newer facilities in 1979, leaving the building derelict. Listed as a heritage property in 2015. Restoration work began at the end of 2024 and the office reopened to the public in spring 2026.

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.
