Ruins of a school and small mining town in the mountains south of Jinguashi. The area is frequented by hikers so it isn’t difficult to access but there might be wild dogs around. Dacukeng is also known for being the hometown of Taiwanese director Wu Nien-jen (吳念真).

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.
