A modest temple venerating the God of Wealth along Wenquan Road (溫泉路) in Beitou. The second floor hosts an altar for Mazu. Although not large or particularly unusual it has the look of a folk temple assembled and managed by locals out here in the margins of Taipei City.

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.
