A neo-Baroque style two-storey banquet hall built in the 1930s by local notable Huang Wanshou. The front hall and rear rooms were designed for privacy, with a ground floor reception, upstairs dining and meeting hall, and private rooms in the back. Expropriated as a military officers’ club during the final years of World War 2, it briefly reopened as a banquet hall, then operated as a hotel before being abandoned. More recently its desolate character has become the backdrop for vintage photo shoots and urban exploration.

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.
