Established in 1956, this temple venerates the spirit of an unmarried maiden renowned for her supernatural powers. It was a popular site of pilgrimage in 1959 but the original temple was completely destroyed in the catastrophic August 7th Flood (八七水災) of 1959. It was later rebuilt after some controversy involving the Taichung Garrison Command. Also known as Zhang Yugu Temple (張玉姑廟).

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.
