Erected in 1815, this archway commemorates Lin Chaoying (林朝英) for a donation to fund the building of a school and the Confucian Temple. It was slated for demolition in the early 1930s as the Japanese colonial authorities carried out an extensive urban renewal project in Tainan. Descendants of Lin Chaoying petitioned the government to relocate the archway to Tainan Park (臺南公園) in 1934. It was most recently restored in 1992. It is one of four surviving memorial archways in Tainan.

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.
