Dongshi Loyalty Monument (東勢の表忠碑) is a small, hidden monument in Dongshi, Taichung, dating back to the Japanese colonial era. It was built in 1935 and is now obscured behind some houses; access is only possible by asking a local resident. The monument originally stood in a small park, but over the decades many structures were built around it until there was no public access, and it was gradually forgotten.

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.
