Tainan Zhengjue Temple (臺南正覺寺)

An impressive Buddhist temple on the north edge of Tainan City near the Chaitougang Creek (柴頭港溪) bridge. The site originally held a Qing dynasty Fude Temple (福德祠) along with a shrine to Chen Yonghua (陳永華). In 1956 the nun Daomiao (道妙師), discovering a stele recording the site’s Buddhist origins, established a Buddhist hall within the existing shrine. The main hall was completed in 1962 and the temple rebuilt to its current scale in 2000.

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.
