A historic temple on Heping Island dating to 1778, when a drifting royal boat carrying the Three Prefecture Kings (三府王爺) washed ashore. A replica Wang Ye boat is enshrined in the side hall of the temple. Every year on the 15th day of the 6th lunar month, the temple revives its traditional sea tour (海上游江), parading the boat around the harbour to pray for safety and a bountiful catch.

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.
