A 22.7-meter wood-fired snake kiln (蛇窯) established in 1946 by Shalu pottery artist Li Shiyu (李仕玉). The kiln produced household ceramics including water jars, wine urns, and flower pots before closing in the 1980s due to competition from plastic products. Located just east of Taitung Bridge (台東大橋), the site also features a Japanese colonial era bunker.

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.
