Peering over the gate to catch a glimpse of the middle building.

A row of three Minnan sanheyuan compounds built by the Yang family of Qingshui, who emigrated here from Tong’an in 1756 and established these homes on the edge of a former Papora Indigenous village in 1827. The middle building was occupied by Yang Fangxi (楊金波), a late Qing dynasty degree holder, as attested by the flagpole stands (旗杆座) still found in the outer courtyard. Only the middle and south buildings survive: the north was unintentionally demolished by descendants in 2010, prompting Taichung’s emergency designation of the remainder as a city monument that July. A sign out front suggests it is open to the public on weekends.

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.
