A former Taiwan Sugar Corporation processing complex on the site of a Japanese colonial era alcohol factory operated by the Ensuikō Sugar Refining Company (鹽水港製糖株式會社). The yeast plant opened in 1957 and was reported at the time to be the largest of its kind in the world, producing up to 40 tonnes of yeast powder per day until operations ceased in 1994.

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.
