One of two major ritual facilities for the Keelung Ghost Festival (雞籠中元祭), one of Taiwan’s most important folk festivals. On the 15th day of the 7th lunar month the altar hosts the main pudu (普渡) ceremony, a banquet feast for wandering spirits. The original 1929 structure in Takasago Park was damaged by Allied bombing in World War 2 and was later demolished. The current building on Shitoushan (獅頭山) in Zhongzheng Park was completed in 1974. The first floor houses the Keelung Zhongyuan Culture Museum (鷄籠中元文化館).

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.
