A traditional sanheyuan in the Pitou (埤頭) area of rural Xiluo, Yunlin. It was completed around 1918 for local gentry Zhang Chongyue (張崇岳), who made his fortune in the fertilizer trade and later served as Xiluo street chief and on the building committee for the Zhangliao Family Ancestral Hall. The seven-bay main hall, known as Yonghua Hall (永華堂), features intricate painted beams and a hall plaque inscribed by the celebrated Lukang calligrapher Zheng Hongyou (鄭鴻猷). The compound is not recognized for its heritage value nor open to the public but remains well-preserved.

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.
