A former Shinto shrine located in the old Dazhu Village (大竹村), likely around what is now a gravel pit. Due to a calamitous fire and disease outbreak during the Japanese colonial era the tribe migrated to a new location, and the state of the original village site is unclear. The Japanese reading of the Paiwan name Tjacupu is unclear, but possibly Daichikukō (ダイチクコウ), although this remains unconfirmed.

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.
