A small neighbourhood temple on Shixia Street (石廈街) in Lukang. It primarily venerates Weifu Wangye (韋府王爺), a wangye brought from Hui’an (惠安) during the Qing dynasty by Shi (施) family. Its predecessor, Fuxing Hall (復興堂), was built around 1810 and burned down in 1895 when fire spread from Bandian Street (板店街) during the Japanese invasion. The deity was kept in rotating household custody until the present temple was completed in 1981.

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.
