A district shrine (鄉社) established in October 1940 as Nōtaka-jinja. The second generation of Shinto shrines in Puli, it replaced the original Nōtaka-sha (能高社) on top of Hutoushan (虎頭山). After the war it was demolished, and later Puli Vocational High School (埔里高工電機科) was built on the site of the shrine. Some traces of old stone lantern bases and other relics can still be found on campus, particularly along the track near the activity center.

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.
