A small hydroelectric plant on the Zhonggang River (中港溪), established in 1924 by local residents to supply electric lighting to Nanzhuang. A wooden waterwheel drove a 7.5 kW generator serving a couple hundred lamps, and the operation was absorbed by the Taiwan Power Company in 1940. Superseded once the district was connected to the island-wide grid, it was decommissioned and demolished in 1961.

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.
