A historic temple tracing its history to the early 18th century. In 2019 it became widely known around Taiwan after Norwegian triathlete Gustav Iden (古斯塔夫·艾登) won a championship in Nice, France, while wearing a hat from the temple that he had found at random on the streets of Tokyo. Nowadays there are many displays of the famous hat around the temple.

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.
