The Amis Indigenous settlement of Kiwit (奇美) has shifted locations over the years, and the former site has mostly returned to pastureland. Somewhere in this expanse is the site of the Shinto shrine constructed in the village as early as 1933. Nothing remains of it now. Known as Kibi-shi in Japanese. May also be referred to as Qimei Shrine (奇美祠) in Mandarin Chinese sources.

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.
