Constructed sometime between 1898 to 1906, this residence was allocated to the administrator of Tainan-chō (臺南廳), an intermediary Japanese colonial division that preceded the introduction of prefectures in 1920. Afterwards it served as the official residence of the Minister of the Interior. In the post-war period it was again the residence of high-ranking government officials. It was restored in 2016 and now operates as Xizhuwei Hills Cultural and Creative Park (西竹圍之丘文創園區).

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.
