A former Shinto shrine associated with the Huoshao Island Vagrant Detention Center (火燒島浮浪者收容所), a facility established in April 1912 to detain “vagrants” and individuals with criminal records. The center closed in February 1920 due to high operating costs, at which point the shrine was likely abandoned. Stone lanterns and stone steps remain on the hillside behind the former Green Island Prison (綠島監獄), but the precise location is unknown.
Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.

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.
