A distinctive megalith not far from Taitung Railway Station and Beinan Cultural Park. Although it looks like it should have some religious function the crescent moon shape is likely for a wooden beam, and this stone was in all likelihood part of a house more than a century ago.

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.
