Gazing up at the rundown apartment block in 2016.

A ten-storey mixed-use building beside the railway line in East Taichung next to the former Fuxing Bridge. Ground was broken in November 1968 and construction finished in February 1971 for the Taichung industrialist Tsai Qirui (蔡奇瑞), with a supermarket and parking in the basement, apartments on the lower seven floors, and the Xingao Hotel (新高大飯店) on the top three. The hotel is long gone and the exterior now looks derelict, but the building remains occupied, its entrances under access control.

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.
