Completed in 1909, this underground cistern was a critical piece of water supply infrastructure in use until 1977. Recently it opened to the public after an extensive restoration project. Apparently there is a hefty admission for entrance.

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.
