A four-pillar stone archway erected in 1882 honouring Huáng Jiào Niáng (黃嘂娘), who was widowed at a young age and crossed the Taiwan Strait alone with her son to join her father-in-law. Her son went on to become one of Bangka’s wealthiest landowners. Originally located on what is now Ketagalan Boulevard opposite the Taipei Guest House, it was relocated during the Japanese colonial era and again in the 1990s during MRT construction, returning to 228 Peace Park in 1997.

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.
