Completed in 1918 by Liu Awu (1884–1948), a Hakka immigrant from Guangdong who worked in the lumber trade in the Puli area. The residence features calligraphy by scholar Liu Xiaocun (劉曉村) and painted wood carvings by Liu Pei (劉沛), both from Shigang in Taichung. It is one of the few old residences in Puli to survive the 921 Earthquake.

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.
