Synapticism
isn't a blog specifically about Taiwan, but the
photographer/DJ/digital nomad behind it (who goes by the name
Alexander Synaptic) has spent much of the past two and a half years
in Taiwan, and has explored the country in exceptional and
fascinating depth. Rather than visit and write about popular tourist
attractions like the National Palace Museum or Kenting National Park,
he prefers to explore abandoned residential and commercial buildings, disused industrial sites
and obscure but intriguing elements of urban life, such as the levees and flood-prevention barriers that surround Taipei.
Like
me, he's found that few places are as atmospheric or photogenic as
semi-collapsed sanheyuan (traditional three-sided courtyard houses). One of his most recent - and most beautifully illustrated - posts concerns a region not far from my home: The 'moonworld' badlands of Tainan and Kaohsiung.
The photo above is from a blog post about Yumei Hall in Changhua County.
