A rudimentary shrine, likely without any kami enshrined, constructed on a hilltop on Qimei in the late 1930s. Not much remains today aside from piled stones and the site is difficult to access. The name in Japanese might have been Taisho-yōhaijo (大嶼遙拜所).

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.
