The first-generation Penghu Great Bridge opened on December 25th, 1970. It was eventually weathered to the point where a replacement was built and opened in 1996, leaving only the piers of the original bridge, now exposed to the waves and slowly succumbing to nature.

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.
