An inconspicuous monument on the east side of Taichung Park (台中公園) next to some tennis courts. It was originally a monument to Japanese soldiers who perished in the invasion of Taiwan in 1895. In the post-war era it was converted into a Victory Monument (勝利碑).

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.
