A small temple in rural Qingshui venerating Sun Wu-kong, the monkey king. It lays claim to being the oldest monkey king temple in Taiwan, but this might be overstated. At any rate, it is quite old, though the current structure is a more recent reconstruction.

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.
