A city god temple in Dajia, Taichung. An earlier temple once stood within the north gate of the Dajia walled town, built in 1827, until the gate was removed during Japanese colonial era street widening. The present temple dates to 1958, when local devotees established it beside the town’s newly built Second Market (第二市場) with incense carried from the top-ranking Hsinchu Chenghuang Temple. The current hall was completed in 1993.

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.
