Taiwan is an unusually rich place for anyone interested in mapping out the many layers of urban and industrial histories through the exploration of abandoned, disused, and neglected places. Gathered here are full reports and field notes from some of my many adventures around the country, as well as location details about sites that have become common knowledge in the urban exploration community. Many of the more famous ruins in Taiwan have already vanished, but details, photographs, and onward links may remain.
