One of a handful of Taiwanese apartment buildings from the late 1960s and early 1970s designed to integrate a spiral ramp wide enough for motorcycles and bicycles. This block on Xiushan Road Lane 57 in Taoyuan is reminiscent of the better-known Jilin Road Motorcycle Apartment in Taipei and Fule Apartment in Sanchong. Residents can ride straight from the street up to their own front doors, an idiosyncratic approach only seen in a handful of apartments around the island.

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.
