A temple constructed over a spring renowned for its rejuvenating powers. Cross the suspension bridge and descend to the basement level of the temple and you’ll find a small chamber with rough-hewn walls, a small pool adorned with stone lotus flowers, and a rock that allegedly resembles Guanyin (觀音), the Goddess of Mercy.

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.
