A gorgeous hospital in a Western-style mansion hidden in the alleyways. It was the tallest building in town when it was constructed in 1936. Rumored to be under reconstruction as of 2024 and not readily accessible in 2025.

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.
