A monument to the Tropic of Cancer was erected on this site in 1908. Over time a series of additional monuments have supplanted the original, and in the early 2000s the Solar Exploration Center (北回歸線標誌公園) also opened on this site.

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.
