A former railway station on the Dongshi Line (東勢線) in Shigang, Taichung. It was established in 1959 and went out of service in 1991. The station and environs were heavily damaged in the 921 Earthquake, leaving a scene of devastation as the railway tracks were torn apart. This scene is now preserved next to a rest stop on the Dongfeng Bicycle Green Way (東豐自行車綠廊).

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.
