A private Buddhist monastery and charitable organization in an eye-catching building on Gongyuan Road in central Taichung. The exterior is decorated to look like a blend of an office building and a temple. Although not typically open to the public it is included here for its unusual architectural design.

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.
