The former residence of Lu Zuanxiang (盧纘祥), the first elected county magistrate of Yilan. Built in 1928 by Lu’s grandmother, the building features a distinctive blend of Japanese and Western architectural elements including a half-gabled roof with Japanese tiles and ox-eye windows. It was designated a county monument in 2001 but remains a private residence.

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.
