Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa passed through Shuangxi during the initial invasion of Taiwan in 1895. Upon arrival he commandeered a stone house at this location, and after his death and deification, it was turned into a shrine of sorts throughout the remainder of the Japanese colonial era. Demolished soon after the arrival of the KMT.

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.
