A small old street in the hills above Sanzhi, New Taipei, originally settled in the late Qianlong era by the Lu (盧) family from Tong’an, Fujian. It prospered from trade across the Datun Mountains and became Sanzhi’s second-largest settlement in the late 1800s. A handful of old shophouses still line Dianzai Road (店子路).

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.
