A small shrine next to Sizihwan Lingxing Temple venerating Erwei Yuanshuai (二位元帥), the spirits of two Western military officers. According to local lore, the relocation of Lingxing Temple disturbed ghosts near the former British Consulate at Takao, and after an old banyan withered overnight a spirit medium called for this shrine to be built to appease them.

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.
