A five-storey hexagonal ritual paper incinerator in Wanjian Village (萬建村), also known as Wanjian Village Jingziting (萬建村敬字亭). Originally built in 1947 with three layers, it was expanded to five during a 1984 reconstruction. The tower enshrines Cangjie and other literary deities; notably, one of the painted tiles on the second storey depicts Mt. Fuji.

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.
