A highly unusual temple in the hills of Guishan. The architecture is outlandish and there are many extraordinary statues on the premises, including one of the late dictator Chiang Kai-shek. Most mysteriously, the founder is mummified in a case in the main hall.

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.
