Former residence of the director of the Taiyang Mining Company’s operations in the area. It is part of a larger group of wooden dormitories built for higher-level employees of the company over a period of several decades in the late Japanese colonial era, the Jingtong Japanese Dormitories (菁桐日式宿舍群). This particular residence was converted into a guesthouse, but its operation seems sporadic as of 2024.

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.
