Originally established as Puzi Public Hospital (朴子公醫院) in 1930, it later changed its name and specialized in surgical procedures until closing sometime in the 1980s. After being abandoned for nearly three decades the descendants of the original owners revitalized the space and transformed it into a vintage café, Seimokuya (清木屋せいもくや).

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.
