A small neighborhood temple venerating Xuantian Shangdi (玄天上帝) in the Caiyuan (菜園) quarter of Lukang. It was founded in 1886 and rebuilt at its present site in the 1910s after the original ground was claimed for a school. The current structure dates to a reconstruction in the late 1960s, which gave the temple its two-hall layout and murals by Guo Xinlin (郭新林). Its door god paintings and a set of calligraphic couplets by Huang Tiansu (黃天素) were designated county antiquities in 2017.

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.
