A temple to Qijiangjun (七將軍), the Seven Generals, venerating six Qing soldiers and their loyal dog who perished in conflict with Taiwanese Indigenous people sometime in the 19th century. The exact details of the incident are blurry and the dozen or so temples in Taiwan venerating the same six soldiers have divergent accounts of what went on.

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.
