One of three old hospitals along Minsheng Road (民生路) in Yuanlin. It was established by Huang Mei-yu (黃美玉), reportedly around 1933. Located next to the larger Bao’an Hospital, this one is completely hidden from view. The nameplate is still displayed at the very top of the building.

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.
