A three-storey courtyard complex in Mingjian, built around the century-old ancestral residence of the Li family. The site was reopened in the late 2010s as a privately-funded museum by tea magnate Li Ruihe (李瑞河), founder of the Ten Ren and Tenfu tea groups and a seventh-generation descendant of the Zhangpu, Fujian settlers who established the family here. The reconstruction cost some 30 million NT and took over two years. The complex houses an ancestral hall, a corporate history museum, a children’s storytelling area, and a tea-arts library. Admission is free.

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.
