Former Shinto shrine in Shoufeng, Hualien. Only the stairs remain; the main structures were demolished and replaced by a monument to Sun Yat-sen. Several stone lantern bases can be seen heading up the stairs but all have been toppled over time. It was presumably known as Kotobuki-sha in the original Japanese.

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.
