A martyrs’ shrine established in 1931 next to the barracks of the Taiwan Infantry 1st Regiment, 3rd Battalion (台灣步兵第一聯隊第三大隊) in Kanjō-chō (干城町), Taichung. The same military base also housed Nogi Shrine (乃木神社), but their relationship is unclear. It was dedicated to the spirits of those who died in the Wushe Incident (霧社事件) of 1930. No trace of the shrine is known to remain and the precise location alongside or within the former base (台中分屯大隊) is uncertain. Additional research is needed.

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.
