A small shrine next to a pond on the north side of Dalin. It has a supernatural reputation and may have been established to appease water ghosts (水鬼) arising from suicide, or war dead from the anti-Japanese resistance, with the former being a cover story.

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.
