A former auction house, slaughterhouse, and meat market on the north side of urban Taichung. It was abolished years ago and the surrounding area has been transformed into the Pork Round Park (豬事圓滿公園), in reference to the circular structure of the market itself. In the early 2020s it also became popular with urban explorers, but as of 2024 it seems like a restoration effort is almost under way.

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.
