The official residence of the administrator of Haikou Village (海口庄) in Taixi, Yunlin, completed in 1937. In the post-war era it continued to serve the same purpose until the early 2000s, after which it was left idle. It was recognized for its heritage value in 2006, neatly restored, and now operates as the Haikou Story House (海口故事屋), a small museum dedicated to the history of the village.

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.
