An old shophouse in Xinyuan. Not much is known about its specific history but it is almost certainly of late Japanese colonial era vintage, and may have operated as a jewelry shop long ago. In the 2000s it was operated as a fruit juice shop, and more recently it seems to have been absorbed by the traditional Chinese medicine shop next door.

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.
