A district shrine (鄉社) completed in May 1936. It was completely demolished after the war and turned into Zhongshan Park (中山公園). Faint reports of the remains of a stone lantern next to a land god shrine just outside the northeast entrance to the park suggest some traces can still be found. Presumably known as Choshu-jinja in the original Japanese.

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.
