Designed by Ide Kaoru (井手薰) and completed in 1936, this impressive structure was originally the Taipei Assembly Hall (臺北公會堂). The Japanese surrender of Taiwan officially took place in this building on October 25th, 1945. It was renamed Zhongshan Hall in honor of Sun Yat-sen after the war. Nowadays it is preserved as a multi-functional venue for exhibitions and special events.

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.
