A short old street in Zuozhen, rural Tainan. Although touted as a tourist attraction, it is only around 100 meters long with just a handful of shops, and doesn’t appear to get much traffic. It follows the course of an old commercial street developed in the late Japanese colonial era by Lô Lâi-siū, former village chief and later county councilor.

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.
