A private guesthouse and museum built in Arabic palace style by Lin Zhaowen (林昭文), a businessman who made his fortune in the Middle East and became known as “Taiwan’s Arabian King”. The five-domed building, constructed in 2006 at a cost exceeding NT$300 million, sits along the coast in Wai’ao (外澳) overlooking Guishan Island. The property was never opened to the public and was put up for sale in 2024 following the owner’s death.

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.
