The terminus of the Pingxi Line in the old coal mining town of Jingtong in Pingxi, New Taipei. It features a wooden station opened in 1929 during the Japanese colonial era. It was downgraded to an unstaffed halt in 1989, designated a monument in 2003, and restored in 2014 and 2015, when its platform was also lengthened. The wooden staff dormitories of the Taiyang Mining Company stand nearby, among them the director’s residence.

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.
