A small village in rural Kaohsiung around where salt was produced in solar evaporation ponds for more than a century. Salt production ended this area in 1983 and the village experienced a sharp population decline. More recently murals were painted all over the village depicting the history of salt production in the area.

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.
