Originally established in October 1903 as Tongluowan Station (銅鑼灣驛) on the Japanese colonial era Mountain Line (山線). It was renamed Tongluo, along with the town, in October 1920. Its wooden station house was destroyed in the 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung Earthquake. Construction on the replacement began that October and was completed in April 1936; this building survives as one of several reinforced concrete stations dating back to the colonial period still in daily use.

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.
