Tainan Aimen (臺南隘門)

Traces of two original aimen (隘門), security gates used in Qing dynasty times to prevent burglary and internecine violence, can be seen in this cramped laneway in Tainan. They were both recognized for their heritage value in 2020.

Alexander Synaptic
Curator, Spectral Codex

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.
