A hillside park on the escarpment below the Linkou Plateau in Taishan, New Taipei. It was originally laid out as the joint tomb of ROC vice president Chen Cheng (陳誠) and his wife Tan Xiang (譚祥). In 1993 the family transferred their remains to Fo Guang Shan in Kaohsiung and the grounds were repurposed for public use under Chen Cheng’s courtesy name Cixiu (辭修). A central staircase of two hundred-odd stone steps still climbs from the entrance to the old statue platform, which now offers a sweeping view across the Taipei basin.

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.
