A 1938 modernist market building originally known as the Nantou Township Consumer Market (南投街消費市場) in Nantou City. Its mixed-use design combining ground-floor shops with upper-floor residences represented an early departure from traditional open-air market layouts in Taiwan. Although still in use today much of the original structure is obscured from view, particularly on the inward facing side of the market building.

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.
