A famous shopping center and commercial building in Ximending. It was built in 1973 on the site of the former Taipei Guoji Theater (台北國際戲院), which was demolished in 1970. The Wannian Building is a prime example of Taiwan’s modernist architecture and is still in use today.

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.
