A Hakka courtyard house (三合院) in rural Tongxiao, built in 1931 as an ancestral hall of the Li (李) family, whose forebears settled much of the surrounding farmland across Tongxiao, Tongluo, and Sanyi. Known as Longxi Hall (隴西堂), the building commemorates the ancestor Li Xiuli (李秀禮). Designated a county monument in 2022, it retains an intact layout, finely carved shrine and eaves woodwork, and adobe brick walls.

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.
