A shrine built on the site of a mass grave for Qing soldiers of the Huai Army (淮軍). Led by Tang Dingkui (唐定奎), this army was dispatched to the Hengchun Peninsula during an 1875 campaign against the Paiwan Indigenous people. Many soldiers died in combat, but many more died from disease and exposure. It is also known as the Fangliao Martyrs’ Shrine (枋寮昭忠祠). Wanxing Gongma Temple also traces its history back to the same campaign.

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.
