A compact but renowned night market in south-central Taipei, wrapped around the Nanjichang Public Housing estates whose residents are its core clientele. Established in 1986, it takes its name, “south airfield”, from the airstrip that operated here before Songshan Airport was built. Despite the name it trades all day, packed with food stalls that have earned outsized acclaim, including a CNN write-up for its meatballs and Michelin recognition for its shaobing (燒餅), stinky tofu, runbing (潤餅), and sesame oil chicken.

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.
