Perched on top of a hill overlooking Liugui, this temple venerates Shennong, the God of Farmers. Additionally, there is a small shrine next to the main hall serving the local community of Taivoan people (大武瀧族), a Taiwanese Plains Indigenous group that migrated here due to settlement pressure in preceding centuries. This shrine is a kuma (公廨) dedicated to the deity Alizu (阿立祖).

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.
