Completed in 1935, this luxurious mansion on the west side of downtown Taichung was built by wealthy businessman Lin Lietang (1876–1947) of the Wufeng Lin family. Over the years it has seen many different uses, from Sanfu Hotel (三福大飯店) to Liuyan Restaurant (柳岸風情餐廳) and nowadays a KTV. It originally featured an extensive Japanese-style garden but the property has been carved up and much of it is now occupied by a gas station. Under renovation as of 2025, possibly to be demolished, and not readily accessible.

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.
