Originally constructed in February 1927, although some sources indicate 1930 or 1943 as a year of establishment. Only the reinforced concrete pedestal of this small Shinto shrine remains in the Puyuma village of Likavung in Beinan, Taitung. It was known as Rika-shi in Japanese and is also referenced in Mandarin Chinese as Lijia Shinto Shrine (利嘉神社).

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.
