An unusual sight in the hills of Xizhi.

An extensive mountainside community established in mountains of Xizhi in the 1990s. The main point of interest is an impressive clubhouse on a hillside near the entrance to the development. It was purchased by Tai Ji Men (太極門), a religious group that was later embroiled in a long-running legal dispute. As it has been abandoned for decades it attracted the interest of the urban exploration community in Taiwan.

Curator, Spectral Codex

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.
