A shrine to Cao Jin (曹謹), magistrate of Fengshan County during the Qing dynasty era, in Fengshan, Kaohsiung. It was originally established on the next to Fongyi Academy in 1860 but during the Japanese colonial period it was relocated to its present site. While the current structure is a modern reconstruction it preserves several historic relics inside and around the shrine.

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.
