A modest land god shrine in front of a historically important mound in central Fengyuan. The former name of this area is Huludun (葫蘆墩), which means “calabash hill” in Chinese, and refers to the presence of three hills on these fertile plains. The other hills have been flattened but here the “foot” of the calabash has been preserved behind a stone wall. Additionally, a pair of stone lanterns and komainu taken from the original Fengyuan Shinto shrine are now displayed here.

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.
