A small Shinto shrine established in the old Paiwan village of Likiliki (力里) at an elevation of roughly 660 meters in the mountains of Chunri Township. The shrine platform survives in the overgrowth. During a 2012 field survey a toppled stone was discovered nearby, revealed after clearing to be a junnanhi (殉難碑) memorial inscribed with the names of police officers and family members killed during the anti-Japanese Likiliki Incident (力里事件) of October 9, 1914.

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.
