The ancestral hall of the Matang Zhang (馬堂張氏) family, descendants of migrants who left Pinghe County in Fujian for central Taiwan during the Qing dynasty era. The Minnan-style sanheyuan complex was built in 1904 at the former village of Xiaqizhangli (下七張犁) and earned heritage status in 1985. A ritual paper incinerator (惜字亭) stands on the grounds, and the rebuilt left outer wing is separately registered as a historic building.

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.
