Completed in 1919 and designed by architect Uheiji Nagano, this iconic neo-Baroque building was originally the Office of the Government-General of Taiwan. It was damaged by US bombing in World War 2 and restored in the years after the Japanese surrender. Now it serves as the office of the president of the ROC (中華民國總統府).

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.
