A temple in Nantian New Village (南田新村) dedicated to Weiwu Chen Yuanshuai (威武陳元帥), a deified seventeenth-century Fujianese folk hero known to the Dachen community as Weiliehou (威烈侯). Evacuees from the Dachen Islands brought the deity from Sanshanjing Temple (三山境廟) on Lower Dachen in 1955, and in 2005 the congregation made a pilgrimage to the founding temple on Xiju Island in Juguang.

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.
