A Ming dynasty cenotaph on a low hill south of Dongheng Village (東珩村) in Jinsha, Kinmen. It is dedicated to the Yangzhai-born scholar-official Chen Jian (陳健), who passed the provincial examination in 1519. The granite tomb is oriented to the southeast and consists of several stone stelae and an offering table. Alongside the tomb of Chen Zhen (陳禎), his father, both are designated national monuments. The site is open to the public.

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.
