A self-sustaining Christian community in the mountains of Namaxia established in 1963 by members of the New Testament Church. Originally known as Shuanglianku (雙連堀), it was renamed Mount Zion in 1967. The settlement endured repeated government crackdowns during the martial law era, including forced evictions and demolitions, before members gradually returned after 1986. Around 300 residents live communally on the mountain, and the site is now promoted as a scenic attraction by the Kaohsiung city government.

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.
