Established in 1936 by local landowner Lin Qingtong (林慶通) in the Lianzikengkou hamlet of Fengyuan, this Tudigong shrine features a Japanese-style stone-washed torii bearing the inscription “glimmering lake, distant sky” (湖光天遠) opening into a small courtyard with a hexagonal pavilion surrounding the main shrine. Two original stone lanterns and a stone stele are also present.

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.
