A company shrine (構內社) established in March 1933 on the grounds of the former Hengchun Plant of the Taiwan Fiber Company (台灣纖維恆春工場). In the 2010s the old rope factory was partly refurbished as an open-air museum with a torii installed over a path. It isn’t clear whether any of the original shrine remains.

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.
