An old stone quarry with some facilities left to the elements on the margins of Xiulin, Hualien. It was operated by the Taiwan Cement Company (台灣水泥公司), taking sand and gravel from Zuocang Mining District (佐倉礦區) and Dongfu Mining District (東福礦區), both by cableway and truck. The gravel loader at the start of Zuocang Trail (佐倉步道) is pretty impressive to see.

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.
