Established in 1922 as the first mental health facility in Taiwan. In its later years it operated as a home for the elderly. Eventually the site was donated to the city and much of it was cleared to create a park. The original red brick building is now a heritage site.

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.
