A three-sided courtyard house (三合院) built around 1940 in the rolling hills of Yuanli, its door plaque bearing the hall name Lanling Hall (蘭陵堂) of the Xiao (蕭) family. Left locked and overgrown after the family emigrated, it was later tidied up and is now maintained by the Xiao family themselves, who offer informal guided visits.

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.
