The foremost temple in this small coastal settlement in Su’ao. It is mainly notable for having a rare custom related to the practice of the Five Garrisons (五營), four of which are placed in the outer perimeter of the village. Inside each small shrine is a figure made of straw wielding a weapon.

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.
