A small roadside shrine that may have been established more than a century ago to appease the spirits of those who perished in flooding along this stretch of the Zhoushui River (周水溪). It is frequently the site of puppet shows performed out of the blue trucks common to the Taiwanese countryside.

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.
