The most accessible of several “moon world” badlands formations scattered across the hills of southern Taiwan. Composed of weathered mudstone that erodes too quickly for vegetation to take hold, the barren landscape of sharp ridges and gullies resembles a lunar surface. The scenic area includes a geology center, walking trails, and an observation deck overlooking the formations.

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.
