Completed in 1931, this small power plant used to supply electricity to much of what is now known as Tianmu in Shilin, Taipei. It is recognized for its heritage value along with the rest of the Caoshan Waterworks (草山水道系統) but is not typically open to the public.

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.
