A historic residence built in 1921 by Ji Chang (紀長), who was so proficient at cultivating sugarcane that he was nicknamed the Sugarcane King of Taiwan (台灣蔗王), in Shuilin, Yunlin. Behind the traditional Minnan-style courtyard house is a Western-style mansion, both with elaborate neo-Baroque flourishes.

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.
