The only elementary school in Sandiaoling. Originated as Sandiaoling Japanese Language School (三貂嶺國語講習所) in 1940, became a branch school in 1954, then independent in 1963. During the coal mining boom the original Japanese colonial era building was either rebuilt or expanded to two floors to accommodate 40+ students per grade. Closed in the mid-1980s when the nearby mines shut down, one after another. Briefly revitalized as a cultural workstation in 2011 but now sits idle beside the railway tracks.

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.
