Completed in 1989 in Hutoushan Park (虎頭山公園), Taoyuan Confucian Temple is the last of Taiwan’s thirteen government-established Confucian temples (官設孔廟). Confucius was previously venerated at nearby Taoyuan Wenchang Temple (桃園文昌廟) from 1968 until the new temple was ready. Notable for its Taoist worship elements, including a Confucius statue in the east hall, which is unusual for Confucian temples in Taiwan.

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.
