The remains of a village school in the Paiwan settlement of Zhukeng. It began in the Japanese colonial era as the Kowai Education Center (コワイ蕃童教育所), one of hundreds of police-run schools for Indigenous children, established around 1925 with around a dozen students. After the war it became a branch class of Fenglin Elementary School (楓林國小), one of four such branches added in 1952, and operated until it was closed in 1998.

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.
