The historic administrative office for Shikano immigrant village (鹿野移民村), a former Japanese-only settlement in Luye, Taitung County. Built in 1921, it is the only surviving Japanese colonial era district-level office in the county. The structure combines Western-style wooden construction on its east side with Taiwanese-style brick on the west. After the war the building was repurposed as dormitory housing under Luye Township; residents gradually moved out or passed away by 2005. Designated a historic building in 2012 and subsequently restored for public visitation.

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.
