Initially established as Wushe Incident Memorial Park (霧社事件紀念公園) in 1952, it represented an interest in aligning Taiwanese Indigenous resistance to Japanese rule with the new governing authority’s own nation-building project. In 1973 the remains of Mona Rudao (莫那魯道), leader of the Wushe Incident, were moved to the park, and more recently the entire park was renamed in his honor.

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.
