Completed in 1837, this fortification once guarded the southwest corner of the walled city of Fongshan. In the post-war period it fell into ruin and part of it became a land god temple. Restoration work starting in 1999 resulted in its present-day appearance.

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.
