A temple dedicated to Xuanwu (玄天上帝) in Fuxing Village (福興里) in Puli, Nantou. It was founded in 1852 and rebuilt at its current location in 1980. Locals credit the temple’s divine protection for sparing the village from major damage during the 921 Earthquake. It is notable for enshrining an idol of Wu Sangong (吳三公), the patron deity of mushroom cultivation (菇神), reflecting the area’s thriving mushroom farming industry.

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.
