A historic Mazu temple on the western periphery of Caotun, Nantou. There is a legend that this temple was visited by the Jiaqing Emperor (嘉慶帝) on a tour of Taiwan, but there is no evidence this ever happened.

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.
