Twin Japanese-style dormitories on the grounds of Ankeng Public School (安坑公學校), established in 1899 and relocated to a former gendarmerie post in 1904. The front dormitory was built around 1929 and the rear between 1929 and 1937; both were registered as historic buildings in 2007 despite post-war fire damage and renovations that largely preserved their Japanese colonial era form.

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.
