Established by Wu Xiquan (吳喜泉), the first female doctor in Taitung, in 1943. She studied at Tokyo Women’s Medical College before returning to her hometown to work at a local hospital. After a year she opened her own clinic specializing in pediatric care, internal medicine, and dermatology. Likely closed in the late 1980s or early 1990s, although the later history seems uncertain.

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.
