A school auditorium completed in 1930 at what was then known as Ganyuan Public School (柑園公學校) and now used as a school history museum. The building features a roof supported by ten wooden trusses and fine red brick exterior walls. A former hōanden (奉安殿) or school Shinto shrine pedestal, originally located beside the playground and later repurposed as a monument for Chiang Kai-shek quotations, was registered as a historic building alongside the main structure in 2011.

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.
