Formerly a small shrine to Baosha Dajiangjun (保萐大將軍), the deified spirit of a Japanese officer killed when United States bombers struck the naval air corps dormitories here during World War 2. Unusually, the shrine held no idol; it was built over an air raid shelter beside Wuji Cimu Temple (無極慈母宮) in Gonghe New Village (共和新村), Donggang, Pingtung. It seems to have been dismantled in the 2010s, though the air raid shelter might remain in the undergrowth.

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.
