An unranked shrine (無格社) established in either October or December 1935, presumably as Riko-jinja in the original Japanese, next to the Ligang Martial Arts Hall (里港武德殿). It was demolished after the war and converted into a martial arts hall (體技館) within the grounds of the Ligang Police Substation (里港分局). A short section of the ornamental tamagaki wall (玉垣) survived outside the hall until around mid-2021, when the site was levelled into a parking lot and the last of the shrine’s base remnants were removed during the substation’s reconstruction.

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.
