A lone chimney stands in the overgrown rural-industrial sprawl on a hillside in Hsinchu City. It is related to the Haishan Brick Kiln and was likely also owned by the Gao (郭) family, but much less is known about the specific history of this former brick-making facility.

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.
