A small temple in Lukang dedicated to Qisheng Anjun (七省按君), an unusual deity venerated as a heaven-touring inspector of seven provinces and said to bear the surname Zhu (祝) and given name Bailian (白蓮). Temple tradition holds that the tradition began when a spirit medium was possessed by the figure; the image was first kept in a private home before the temple was built around 1950. The adjacent plaza once served as a rehearsal ground for the Juyingshe (聚英社), a nanguan music ensemble.

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.
