The ancestral home of Wu San-lian (1899–1988), a pioneering Taiwanese politician, journalist, and businessman. He served as the first non-partisan elected mayor of Taipei in 1951 and was a key figure in Taiwan’s democratization and localization movements during both the Japanese colonial era and post-war period. In 2015, Tainan City designated this traditional courtyard house as a historic 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.
