Former site of the prefectural (縣社) Shinto shrine in Taitung County, originally established in October 1911. Repurposed as a Martyrs’ Shrine, likely in the 1970s, but parts of the original torii and several stone lanterns can still be found on site. Originally known as Taito-jinja.

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.
