An old Qing dynasty era courtyard house on the outskirts of urban Shuangxi. It is still occupied by descendants of the founder but based on Google Maps reviews it seems they welcome curious outsiders if you happen to catch them at home. The exterior isn’t too impressive but there are some impressive architectural details inside and around the eaves of the main hall.

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.
