A monument to Taiwanese activist Chiang Wei-shui (蔣渭水, 1890–1931) on the median platform at the southern portal of Hsuehshan Tunnel (雪山隧道) in Toucheng, Yilan. It was unveiled in 2006 when National Freeway 5 opened as Chiang Wei-shui Memorial Freeway (蔣渭水高速公路), named for the Yilan-born physician who led the movement for Taiwanese self-determination under Japanese rule. The platform doubles as an emergency exit for the tunnel and the sole approach is on foot from the parking area at Hsuehshan Tunnel Museum (雪山隧道文物館).

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.
