Remnants of reclaimed land off the coast of Taixi, Yunlin, originally intended for an industrial park in the 1990s. Environmental groups protested the development of the sensitive coastal ecosystem for heavy industry and successfully dissuaded several companies from going ahead with the project. What was left remained idle for many years, landing it on a prominent list of “mosquito halls” in Taiwan, but the island now operates a vast solar power plant. There is almost certainly no access for the public.

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.
