An ancestral hall built between 1884 and 1893 under the leadership of scholar Qiu Cuiying (邱萃英), with the famous anti-Japanese resistance leader Qiu Fengjia (丘逢甲) presiding over its dedication. After the 1895 Japanese takeover, Qiu Fengjia briefly used the hall as his resistance headquarters. The building fell into disrepair after the family scattered but was restored in 1925 and again in 1987. Registered as a historic building in 2006.

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.
