Established in 1893, this temple is dedicated to Guangong (關聖帝君) in Jinguashi, Ruifang. It has been reconstructed several times over the decades since, most recently in 1983. In 1991 a giant bronze statue of Guangong was installed on the top of the temple. The statue is just over 10 meters tall and weighs 25 tons. It is also romanized as Cyuanji Temple and Chuen Ji Temple.

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.
