An unassuming late 17th century tomb for two of the pirate-king Koxinga’s six concubines. Nearly every other tomb associated with Koxinga was relocated to mainland China after the Qing dynasty conquered the Kingdom of Tungning but these escaped notice, perhaps due to their relatively lower status, obscure location, or incomplete record-keeping. Located inside Nanshan Cemetery (南山公墓).

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.
