Established in 1732, this small yet historic shrine commemorates 18 righteous militiamen (十八義民) who perished fighting Taiwanese Indigenous forces during a 1731 uprising against Qing rule (大甲西社抗清事件). The interior is a simple hall with spirit tablets bearing 18 names on an altar.

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.
