The earliest filial arch constructed in northern Taiwan, completed in 1824. It honours Yang Juniang (楊居娘), who was widowed at 24 and raised her children alone. This arch is one of four preserved in Hsinchu, and all the others are modelled on the design of this one, the oldest and most readily accessible of the lot.

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.
