A temple dedicated to the war god Guandi (關帝) with origins in the Ming-Zheng period, when a general reportedly brought an idol back from China. Provisionally listed as a Class 3 historic site in 1982, its heritage status was revoked in 1985 after the temple committee secretly demolished the old building in two days to force a rebuild. The current structure dates to 1988. Also known as Houjia Guandi Temple (後甲關帝殿).

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.
