A high-rise hotel on Daren Road (大仁路), among the most prestigious areas in Yancheng during Kaohsiung’s heyday as a leading Asian port. It opened around the 1960s, and its top-floor Hangong Restaurant (漢宮餐廳) staged foreign cabaret acts; a young Jackie Chan (成龍) and Sammo Hung (洪金寶) reportedly performed there. A fire around 1980 gutted the building, which then sat derelict for some four decades, redevelopment stalled by a tangled ownership structure, its empty corridors feeding a Kaohsiung urban legend. Scaffolding went up in the mid-2020s for a long-delayed renovation.

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.
