An unfinished temple in the hills of Nankan. It has become a popular place for “night tours”, urban exploration, airsoft games, and photo shoots. It is built in front of an ancestral shrine to the Wu family. As of 2024 there is no barrier to entry, but also nothing of interest remaining within the temple. Some of the reinforced concrete is looking precarious; exercise caution should you climb the stairs to the upper levels.

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.
