Rediscovered in 1952 and dating back to 1642, this is the oldest known Han Chinese tomb in Taiwan. No historic records exist to substantiate Ceng’s mortal life; the only details known are gleaned directly from the inscription on his gravestone. Located inside Nanshan Cemetery (南山公墓) not far from Ximen Road (西門路); there is an entrance with a signpost indicating the way to the tomb.

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).
