A historic commercial district in Yingge, known as the ceramics capital of northern Taiwan. Originally home to numerous kilns and factories, the area transformed in the 1990s into a tourist destination with shops selling ceramics ranging from daily wares to art pieces. Not much around here seems genuinely old but it’s nicely maintained and a good family-friendly destination.

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.
