An unusually large wooden dormitory still standing in the vicinity of the former Jinshui Oilfield. It was set aside for single males in an area known as Little Hong Kong (小香港). Most of the structure is still standing in 2024 but it is weakened by rot and termites, and one part has already collapsed.

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.
