Established in 1918 in Shilin, Taipei, as one of the earliest mechanized paper mills in Taiwan. It is recognized for its heritage value but hasn’t yet been redeveloped and opened to the public as of 2025. Parts of the complex are in ruin, several old warehouses have been demolished and converted into parking lots, and other structures remain mostly intact and awaiting restoration efforts. A section of wall along Fude Road (福德路) on the north side of the complex was built with stone from the old city walls.

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.
