A traditional Minnan sanheyuan completed in 1928. The Yao family migrated from the Chaoshan region during the Qing dynasty, originally hailing from Wuxing, Jiangsu. Once part of a larger compound with a seven-bay main hall, only this five-bay structure remains. Most records were lost in Typhoon Morakot (2009).

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.
