This small cave in Bali, New Taipei, is reputedly the site of folk hero Liao Tianding’s last stand. It is readily accessible down a short trail and a dry river trace. The cave itself is modest and only a few meters deep. Offerings suitable for an outlaw are typically placed on a stone near the entrance.

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.
