Originally established in the 1910s as the residence of the director of Kotobuki Sugar Factory, it was later transferred to the Hualien Dating Cooperative Farm (花蓮大同合作農場). Chiang Kai-shek reputedly stayed here, although the details aren’t clear. Today it is still managed by the veterans’ association as a guesthouse. Closed in 2024 after suffering damage in the 403 Hualien Earthquake.

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.
