A defunct elementary school adjacent to the Nanjing Sugar Factory (南靖糖廠) in Shuishang. It was established in 1950 to serve children of non-Taisugar employees, just 180 meters from the parent school, which at the time admitted only sugar company families. The branch gained independence as Jingxi Elementary (靖西國小) in 1956 but was reabsorbed as a branch in 1983 and finally closed in September 2015.

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.
