A brick courtyard residence in the Beizhuang (北庄) area of Shengang, Taichung, completed in 1935. The compound pairs a Chinese-style multi-wing layout with a small Western-style annex, fronted by stonewashed terrazzo gate pillars in the Shōwa period style. Its front hall carries the ancestral name Jiulong Yanpai (九龍衍派), a common appellation among descendants of the Lin family in Shengang and Fengyuan. The residence remains privately occupied.

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.
