Completed in 1937, this was the official residence of the commander of the Japanese air force wing stationed in Pingtung City. After the war it was the official residence of General Sun Li-jen (孫立人) for several years before he was put under house arrest in Taichung. For this reason it is also known as the General Sun Li-jen Guesthouse (孫立人將軍行館), although there is some ongoing confusion about the various official names of this 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.
