A historic neighbourhood in central Taipei formerly known as Taishōchō (大正町) in the Japanese colonial era. It was originally a residential area for Japanese officials and business-people built in the image of Kyoto. In the post-war era it gradually transformed into a center of Japanese-style nightlife, izakayas, and hostess bars. The name refers to the nine alleyways (or tiaotong) running east-west through the neighbourhood.

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.
