A Qing dynasty era Buddhist temple founded in the early Qianlong reign by immigrants to Fengshan from Sanyi (三邑) in Quanzhou. It was originally known as Fengshan Guanyin Temple (鳳山觀音寺) as it was primarily dedicated to Guanyin. It is one of several temples claiming descent from Quan’an Longshan Temple (泉安龍山寺) in Jinjiang, Fujian, and the only national monument-grade temple in Kaohsiung.

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.
