A ceremonial structure once stood on the southwest side of this Japanese colonial era school campus, originally known as Keishou Elementary School (溪州尋常小學校). Although culture workers have identified it as a Shinto shrine, records indicate it was a hōanden (奉安殿), a structure purpose-built to house photos of the emperor and empress as well as the imperial rescript on education. Whatever the case, all but the pedestal was destroyed after the war, and a statue of Confucius was erected here in 1965. Despite the ambiguity, the site was award cultural heritage status in 2009.

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.
