A Western-style mansion in the small settlement behind Nanjing Railway Station, said to have belonged to the wealthiest family in the area during the Japanese colonial era. The gable bears the Li (李) surname in seal script. The property has sat largely unoccupied for decades despite interest from the county government, and as of the mid-2020s a “for rent” sign is posted out front.

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.
