A former Shinto shrine located next to what is now Huashan Elementary School (華山國小) in Gukeng, Yunlin. It inaugurated in December 1942 as part of the school, and students would have paid their respects to the shrine each morning before class. The site was mostly dismantled in the post-war period, leaving only a marker where the main hall once stood, in the midst of a forest grove. Dahudi was likely known as Daikotei in Japanese.

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.
