A dormitory complex for workers at the nearby Jianji Coal Mine in coastal Ruifang. It closed in the late 1980s and the community was mostly derelict, with only a few holdouts remaining as of the late 2010s.

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.
