The larger of two temples venerating Chiang Kai-shek around a major Dachen Islands resettlement village on Qijin Island. It was originally a public mourning hall established next to the air raid shelters in the village in 1975 but has since become a permanent structure with additional altars.

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.
