A fertilizer mixing facility built around 1939–1940 when Tianzhong served as a major rice collection point for central Taiwan. Sulfur and phosphoric acid were delivered by narrow-gauge railway, mixed on site, and distributed to farmers. After the war it became a fertilizer depot, then a rice storage and milling facility from 1976. Seven Japanese colonial era warehouses remain on site and it was registered as a historic building in 2005.

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.
