A small temple opposite Koxinga Ancestral Hall (鄭成功祖廟), dedicated to the Five Manifestation Emperor (五顯大帝) and originating as a Guanyin shrine in the Ming-Zheng period. The temple contains murals by celebrated father-son painters Pan Chunyuan (潘春源) and Pan Lishui (潘麗水), painstakingly preserved during a 2013 renovation. On the inward-facing rooftop of the first courtyard are figures of four icons of Tainan history added in 2016: Yoichi Hatta (八田與一), Wang Jinhe (王金河), Tang De-zhang (湯德章), and Thomas Barclay (巴克禮). There is also an absurdly cute tiger god in a side shrine.

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.
