Established by Li Shanggen (李上根) in 1946, the Taichung branch of this left-wing ROC newspaper was initially associated with the military but many of its reporters were still arrested during the tumult of the 228 Incident in 1947 all the same. The building, originally an ice factory in the late Japanese colonial era, was finally demolished in 2025.

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.
