A Qing dynasty era Hakka temple completed in 1824 by migrants from Tingzhou (汀州) in western Fujian. It is dedicated to Dingguang Gufo (定光古佛) and is oriented toward their ancestral homeland. The side wings of the compound functioned as a guild hall where newly arrived Tingzhou Hakka stayed before pushing inland, making it the only intact facility of its kind still standing in Taiwan. It is considered one of the Four Great Temples of Tamsui.

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.
