A former Shinto shrine established in Zhanghu Village (樟湖村), a remote settlement in the hilly backcountry of Gukeng, Yunlin. It was completed in 1942 in the vicinity of what is now Zhanghu Elementary School. Some landscaping along the visiting path still exists, but the extent of any other remains is unconfirmed. This site is also known more generally as Zhanghu Shinto Shrine (樟湖神社).

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.
