A historic temple established in 1765 in Huwei, Yunlin. The temple forecourt hosts a stone stele issued by Leng Zhenjin (冷震金) in 1782, essentially reading “it is prohibited for corrupt officials to engage in fraudulent schemes involving corpses” (嚴禁奸保蠹差藉屍圖詐碑記), which was apparently a major scandal at the time.

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.
