An isolated cemetery and crematorium complex in the mountains of northern Yilan. Construction began around 2004 but was halted during a corruption scandal, landing the site on a prominent list of “mosquito halls”, examples of mismanaged public funds. It was later completed and operational by 2015.

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.
