An old well originally sunk around 1895, at the start of the Japanese colonial era. It was covered up after the war but recently relocated during construction work in the area. It isn’t much to look at, just a spot on the ground with a small plaque, but it is nevertheless recognized as a heritage property. It is located in central Nanzhuang, Miaoli.

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.
