An old charcoal kiln in the hills of Miaoli. The local government has cleaned up this particular kiln and provided some informational plaques about the history of the charcoal industry in this area, which reached its peak in the 1950s.

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.
