A former transshipment station for salt produced in the Qigu and Budai solar evaporation ponds constructed out of reinforced concrete in 1955. The salt was transported by narrow gauge rail and transferred here for onward shipment to the Port of Kaohsiung. It fell out of use after international export of salt ceased. Also known less formally as the Nanzhi Salt Loading Platform (南紙卸鹽台). It is now mainly used as a community garden. The platform is accessible to the determined but it is precarious in parts, be forewarned.

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.
