Despite its modest size this is one of the foremost temples in Taiwan venerating Yuhuang Dadi (玉皇大帝), the Jade Emperor. It was established in 1805 and rebuilt in the early 1970s. In the 921 Earthquake it was lightly damaged but soon restored.

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.
