One of the more culturally significant temples at the back of the Changhua Plains in Huatan. It is known for an impressive tower dedicated to the Five Garrisons (五營), which are usually housed in a far smaller structure, and a God of Land elevated to government official status in the Qing dynasty era.

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.
