An old hotel completed in 1967 on Minquan Road (民權路). It was designed by Liao Shangkun (廖上焜) and featured art by Li Zhifu (李治輔), an apprentice of Wang Shui-ho (王水河), on the façade. The business closed in 1999 and it has been semi-abandoned ever since, but is not typically accessible to casual explorers.

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.
