北宜公路殉職先靈紀念碑

A monument to the workers who perished during the construction of the Taipei-Yilan Highway. There is also an ossuary on site housing the remains of the deceased. It was originally built in 1974, a few short years after the highway opened, and it became popular with gamblers during the lottery craze of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The site was completely rebuilt in 2007 to address concerns about building in the catchment area for a nearby reservoir. Naturally it has also appeared on lists of haunted places in Taiwan.

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.
