Two monuments near Silin Village (四林部落) marking the 1915 Shinake Incident, when Paiwan people resisted Japanese efforts to confiscate their weapons. The original Loyal Soul Monument (四林格忠魂碑), erected in 1919, commemorates Japanese military police killed in the conflict. In 2004, Mudan Township added a separate memorial honoring the Paiwan resistance.

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.
