A small temple on a hillock formerly known as Chishanzai (赤山仔) near the Caogong Canal in Renwu. It is dedicated to Chen Yuan (陳元), a Qing military officer killed during the Zhu Yigui Rebellion of 1721. The original shrine fell into disrepair and was rebuilt in 1981.

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.
