This power plant was developed in the late Japanese colonial era, coming online in 1941. Its turbines are fed by a 5 kilometer-long tunnel taking water in near Niudou Station. Remotely operated since 2002 and not too much to see from the road.

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.
