Lukang was the site of the northernmost solar salt production fields. The output was never as consistent as the fields down south and it was eventually demolished, leaving only the faint trace of an outline visible in satellite maps. Abandoned in 1964.

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.
