One of the few remaining traces dating back to the aborted attempt to construct a capital city for Taiwan Province in what later became Taichung. This pavilion was once part of the northern gate to the city, which was never finished. The Japanese authorities relocated it to this park in 1903. It is also known as Wangyue Pavilion (望月亭).

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.
