A traditional snake kiln for firing pottery in Mingjian, Nantou. Also known as the Xinminglong Tile Factory (新敏隆製瓦廠). Whether the site is actively maintained and open to the public or idle and semi-abandoned is a little unclear given the paucity of online records.

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.
