A small temple whose deity, Shuijichenggong (水吉成公), popularly known as the Japanese god (日本神), arose in October 1944 when fishermen recovered the bones of three Japanese soldiers off Qihou (旗后) and enshrined them under a name granted by the Guanyin of the Hongmaogang Chaofeng Temple (紅毛港朝鳳寺). The three characters are thought to combine the surnames of the dead men: Mizuno (水野), Yoshimura (吉村), and Narita (成田). After years in a bamboo hut and then a breakwater shrine, it followed the Hongmaogang community to Fengshan, Kaohsiung, when the fishing village was cleared, and was rebuilt in 2008 as Zhengjun Temple (正軍堂), immediately behind the relocated Chaofeng Temple.

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.
