Completed in 1917, the second-generation Taichung Station was in continuous operation until 2016, when it was finally superseded by a newer station built immediately to the northeast. The surrounding area has been converted into a weekend market and the old station building is now used as a museum.

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.
