A former Shinto shrine on a flat stretch of the ridge line above the Indigenous community of Nanshi (南勢) in Heping, not far from Nanshi Police Garrison. It is known only from a passing reference to the site, and whether anything remains is unclear. No record of its name has surfaced, but it was plausibly called Nansei-shi after the village’s Japanese name, Nansei (ナンセイ).

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.
