A former Japanese colonial era administrative center along Beikeng Creek Historic Trail (北坑溪古道) in the mountains of Miaoli. It was established in 1923 and featured a police station, martial arts hall for training, and dormitories for the officers stationed along this remote trail. Nowadays almost nothing remains aside from the foundations of various buildings and landscaping indicating human settlement.

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.
