Established by veteran ROCAF engineer Hu Pengfei (胡鵬飛) in 1976 and renovated in subsequent years, this three-storey temple venerates Yaochi Jinmu (瑤池金母), the Queen Mother of the West, but later became known for its ground level altars to ROC generals including Chiang Kai-shek.

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.
