A representative example of a multi-chamber eye kiln (目仔窯) located on the northern outskirts of Yilan City. The lightly restored compound houses a row of brick-domed firing chambers, each operated independently and venting through connecting flues to a single 37-meter chimney. Production ceased in the 1980s, and in 1999 the site was slated for residential redevelopment before local opposition secured its preservation. It was designated a county monument in 2002.

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.
