A former police dormitory complex next to the train station in Minxiong. It seems likely that it once provided housing for policing, postal, and railway workers. The date of construction is unknown but likely in the 1930s. No plans to conserve the community seem to be in place, and a row of houses was demolished by the early 2010s to make space for a parking lot. Most houses seem abandoned but at least a few are still occupied and in decent condition.

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.
