An old laneway that was once lined with blacksmiths; the name in Chinese literally means “strike iron lane”. Here the main attraction is Lai Far Blacksmith Shop (來發鋨店), founded 1881 and still in operation today. It is the last of six or seven blacksmiths that used to ply their trade on this small street, serving the needs of Zhushan’s many farmers.

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.
