A Ming dynasty granite tomb on the slopes of Huanglongshan (黃龍山) above Pushan Village (埔山村) in Jinsha, Kinmen. It was built during the Jiajing era for the scholar-official Chen Zhen (陳禎), father of Chen Jian. The tomb faces northwest from a hillside position. The forecourt is flanked by paired stone statues and plain stone pillars in keeping with Ming funerary conventions for an official of his rank.

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.
