Built in 1919, this Japanese colonial era police station (梧棲官吏派出所) and adjoining dormitory complex sits on Wuqi Old Street beside Chaoyuan Temple. The site continued to serve as a police substation under the ROC until the 1970s, when expansion around Taichung Port prompted the police to relocate, leaving the buildings were left vacant. Designated a city monument in 2010, the complex was restored and reopened in 2021 as a cultural venue (梧棲文化出張所) with exhibition space, a market, and a guesthouse.

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.
