Times Square (時代大廣場) is a former shopping mall and commercial complex near Tunghai University (東海大學) widely known among the urban exploration community in Taiwan. It was mostly abandoned for much of the late 2000s and 2010s but some areas have recently were repurposed for migrant worker housing in the late 2010, mostly for Filipinos and Vietnamese. The building is still in a state of disrepair but it is no longer completely abandoned and, perhaps due to the notoriety, security staff are present and likely to expel outsiders.

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.
