A Taoist temple in rural Tamsui mainly notable for hosting the remnants of Tamsui Shinto Shrine. Many of the original stone lanterns can be found along a coconut palm-lined pathway to the left of the temple entrance. The wash basin from the chōzuya (手水舍) can also be found somewhere around the plaza.

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.
