Established in 1742 by immigrants from Quanzhou, this historic temple is dedicated to Baosheng Dadi (保生大帝). The basis of the current structure dates from a major reconstruction completed in 1919 during the Japanese colonial period. The complex underwent careful restoration beginning in the 1980s after a period of residential use in the post-war era. It is now designated as a national monument, making it one of the most significant temples in Taipei.

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.
