A coastal Mazu temple in Wanggong, Fangyuan, with a 200 year history. It traces its origins to 1812, when the Changhua County magistrate Yang Guisen (楊桂森) admired the fengshui of the village and called for a larger temple to replace its small shrine. Only the main hall was finished and the temple fell into disrepair until residents petitioned for its reconstruction in 1958. It is a regular stop on the coastal pilgrimage route.

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.
