A Japanese colonial era wooden residence originally built around 1904–1906 as the Yilan Prefecture General Affairs Section Chief Dormitory. After World War 2 it served as the official residence for the Yilan County Government Chief Secretary (主任秘書) until 1997. The building was designated a historic building in 2001 and has since been restored for use as a vegetarian restaurant (上善豆家).

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.
