A strenuous hike is required to reach the former site of some sort of Japanese monument, presumably representing a small mountaintop Shinto shrine consecrated in February 1939. The hiking trail was renovated in the 1980s and whatever was still left at that time was transformed into a miniature version of Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, but a stone stele remains on site.

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.
