A lone bridge head stands on a sandbar in the Zhuoshui River (濁水溪) below Wanfeng (萬豐), a Bunun village in Ren’ai, Nantou. It is the last remnant of a suspension bridge that once marked the northern end of the Qubing Historic Trail (曲冰古道). A typhoon or flood of uncertain date carried away both the span and the trail. Neither the bridge’s length nor its construction date is recorded; a worn inscription on the bridge head is largely illegible, though the distance to the far bank suggests a span of roughly 200 meters.

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.
