A temple dedicated to Sanping Zushi (三坪祖師) rebuilt into a two-storey structure in 1977. It is mainly notable for having an unusual bird deity on the altar, a Great Peng Bird (大鵬鳥), likely a manifestation of the Hindu deity Garuda (金翅大鵬鳥), said to be the mount of Sanping Zushi. During spirit medium sessions the bird reportedly descends first, causing the medium to emit hawk-like cries and spread their arms like wings.

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.
