A small railway station on the Western Trunk Line in Shuishang, established in 1911 to serve Nanjing Sugar Factory. Originally named Shuishang (水上), it received its present name in 1949 when a newer station nearby claimed the old designation. The current building dates to 1943, replacing a wooden predecessor destroyed by an earthquake in December 1941, and was constructed during wartime material shortages in using timber frames and plaster to imitate stone walls and masonry.

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.
