A hillside temple venerating Sun Wu-kong, the Monkey King. During the 1980s and 1990s it was the centerpiece of a series of attractions including a children’s amusement park and the 18 Arhats Cave. It closed around 2021, perhaps due to a lack of a caretaker, and is no longer 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.
