One of three great temples in Dadaocheng, the most historic area of Datong District, Taipei. Originally built in 1878, it has been reconstructed several times, most recently in 1998 to allow road traffic to pass below. It is cited in Parasitic Temples as the Overstreet Temple (跨街廟).

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.
