A small Shinto shrine located on a hilltop at the north end of central Pinglin, on the rear hillside of what is now Pinglin Junior High School (坪林國中). In the post-war era it was dismantled and a statue of Guanyin (觀音) was installed at the site, today known as the Guanyin Platform (觀音台). The platform’s dedication inscription on the rear face notes that this was the former shrine site. Known as Herin-sha in the original Japanese.

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.
