Pictured here is a notorious ruin at the eastern terminus of Qīngnián Road (青年路) in Tainan. It was formerly used as staff quarters for the Tainan branch of the Taiwan High Court but the property has been idle since at least 2010. Its prime location, obvious state of abandonment, and ease of entry has made it popular with graffiti artists, curious university students, and other thrill-seekers, but I never got around to scoping out the interior despite living down the street for a few months. In any case, I appreciate the institutional inelegance of the brutal concrete architecture on display here.

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.
