The main altar to Lü Dongbin in Tiantaibao Temple.

A temple on the northern outskirts of Chaozhou, founded in 1959 as a branch of Fumin Temple (覆民宮) in Taipei. The site began as a small spirit-writing hall (鸞堂) on Yanping Road and shifted to its present location around 1963. The main hall is dedicated to Lü Dongbin (呂洞賓), venerated here under his Daoist title Fuyou Dijun (孚佑帝君), while the rear Lingxiao Treasure Hall (凌霄寶殿), completed in 1987, honours Yuhuang Dadi (玉皇大帝), the Jade Emperor. In an unusual twist idols representing the founders of the five major religions (五教教主), Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, sit side by side beneath Yuhuang Dadi.

Series: Southern Taiwan Ride 2018

Dispatches from a weeklong bicycle trip around southern Taiwan in late 2018. I began the ride in Tainan, crossed into Qishan, headed into the mountainous interior as far as Liugui, did a loop through Pingtung, and finished around Zuoying, visiting the sites of nearly 25 old movie theaters. Many entries remain to be added; this series is far from over.

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.
