The first power plant in the Hualien area. It was a small hydroelectric plant near the Shapodang waterworks, planned by the Karenkō Electric Light Company (花蓮港電燈株式會社) and completed in August 1920 with a single 200 kW Francis turbine. Damaged by typhoons in the final years of the war, it was repaired by Taipower post-war before eventually being decommissioned. No trace remains at the site.

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.
