Xinhua Township Office (新化街役場)

The former district office for Xinhua, built in 1934 on land donated by mayor Liang Dao (梁道) and completed a year later. It is the only surviving machiyakuba (街役場) south of Changhua. In 1999 the building faced demolition but was instead physically relocated to a nearby lot in May 2000, then moved back to its original site in March 2002. Now renovated into a restaurant and café, it sits next to the Yang Kui Literary Memorial Hall (楊逵文學紀念館).

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.
