One of the earliest settlements within Qingjing Farm (清境農場), established alongside Bowang New Village (博望新村) to house Yunnanese guerrilla veterans and their families resettled from the Burma-Yunnan borderlands in 1961. The village retains its low-slung brick houses and a small land god shrine, Shouting Temple (壽亭宮), with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Yunnanese eateries still operate in the back lanes.

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.
