A cluster of old houses on the western outskirts of Xihu. The main courtyard home exhibits an interesting blend of neo-Baroque and Art Deco styling. Date of construction is unknown, but perhaps it was after 1935, when there was a wave of construction following a devastating earthquake.

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.
