Tainan Jusong Temple (安海港聚宋宮)

A neighborhood temple venerating Prince Jìfǔ (紀府千歲), Prince Kāngfǔ (康府千歲), and Prince Mǎfǔ (馬府千歲). Originally established as Fúxīntáng (福心堂) in 1910, it traces its origins to 1809 when the Prince Jìfǔ statue was brought from Fujian to protect merchant ships. According to legend local townspeople requested the idol remain in Taiwan in the 1860s, granted by divine providence after divination blocks ruled in favor 13 times in a row. The temple was rebuilt at its current location in 1958 and renamed in 1968.

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.
