A Japanese colonial era hot springs hotel established in Caoshan (草山), or Sōzan, in 1924. After World War 2, the complex served as Yangmingshan Bureau Office (草山管理辦公室) until 1970, when it was repurposed for use as the Joint Logistics Command Yangmingshan Guesthouse (聯勤陽明山招待所). In subsequent decades most structures were demolished, leaving only the distinctive octagonal stone bathhouse, which was designated a historic building in 2019. Restoration work began around 2024 and is still ongoing as of mid-2026. The site is not yet 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.
