Established in the late 18th century, this was originally a kuwa (shrine) for the Taiwanese Plains Indigenous people of the area. It was gradually transformed into a more traditionally Han Taiwanese folk religious temple over time, but a small kuwa was constructed around the back of the temple in 2000, and Siraya Indigenous ceremonies have resumed since 2019.

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.
