A Japanese colonial era water purification plant in Shanshang, Tainan. It was recently restored and open to the public as Shanshang Garden Aqueduct Museum (山上花園水道博物館). There are two sites under the same organization; the purification pool is in the hills to the south of the main site.

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.
