A traditional residence of unknown construction date in Dunhou Village (敦厚村), originally built by wealthy merchant Huang Linsong (黃林松). The building features fine woodwork, plasterwork, stonework, and jiannian (剪黏) decoration by craftsmen from China and local artisan Chen Amei (陳阿昧). After the family’s fortunes declined, the property was sold to the Wang brothers of Yushan Hall (玉山堂), who commissioned new paintings dated 1922 and 1923. Registered as a historic building in 2018, though it now appears semi-abandoned and in rough condition.

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.
