Originally constructed in the 1950s as the residence of the commander of the United States Seventh Fleet. Around 1968 it became the official residence of Chiang Ching-kuo (蔣經國), initially in his capacity as Minister of National Defense, and later as premier and then president of the Republic of China. After a long period of idleness it officially opened to the public in 2022 as Ching-Kuo Chi-Hai Cultural Park (經國七海文化園區).

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.
