The ancestral hall of the Guanxi (琯溪) branch of the Zhang family in Nantou City, named for their origin in Guanxi, a town in Pinghe County, Zhangzhou. It was established in 1880 near the present-day Nantou Senior High School and relocated to the present site after a typhoon destroyed the original in 1911. The current plan was laid down during a 1934 reconstruction which introduced Western elements to the design. The hall was severely damaged in the 921 Earthquake and rebuilt with government funding in 2008 after having been registered as a historic building in 2002.

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.
