Traces of a former Shinto shrine established in 1934 can still be found in the cemetery at the back of this modest Tayal Indigenous settlement. Apart from the base of the shrine you might also be able to locate the holes for the torii in the overgrowth.

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.
