An aqueduct completed in 1921, more than a decade before the rest of the Sun Moon Lake Hydroelectric Project was ready to go online. It was originally constructed with only reinforced concrete pylons elevating the waterway leading into the short Xiangtian Canal (向天圳); American engineers visiting the site recommended supporting the pylons with arches, which were added later. It is still in use as one of two aqueducts traversing this valley, which is the last place water diverted by Wujie Dam surfaces before entering Sun Moon Lake.

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.
