A large seaside temple complex in Sihu, Yunlin, established in 1738. It claims to be the originator of Baogong (包公) worship in Taiwan. The temple was destroyed in the late Japanese colonial period and rebuilt after the war, undergoing several waves of reconstruction over subsequent decades.

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.
