A vintage Japanese colonial era police station still in operation. The original wooden structure was renovated in the 1980s and the walls were replaced but it still retains some sense of its age. There is also an old bomb shelter in the forecourt and a hundred year-old magnolia tree 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.
