A small park on the former site of Xingang Station in Xingang, a stop on the sugar railway between Chiayi and Beigang that opened in 1911. The last passenger train left in August 1982 and the station lay derelict for two decades until volunteers cleared it, with the park opening in 2001. A stretch of track, a diesel locomotive, several freight wagons, and a brake van are preserved here.

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.
