A small izakaya in the alleyways of Xinyi has become incredibly popular as a backdrop for photos of Taipei 101. Sometimes referred to simply as the “Taipei 101 Alley View”, although there are many that provide a similar framing and aesthetic.

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.
