Established in 1918, this was originally the Shinto shrine for the lumberjack settlement prior to developing the later site on Taipingshan. The site was effectively abandoned when the settlement moved northeast of here around 1937, but several relics remain, and have become a popular destination for multi-day hikes. Numerous traces of the surrounding settlement can also be found in this area. Also known as Jialuoshan Shinto Shrine (加羅山神社) in some Chinese language sources.

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.
