A small institutional Shinto shrine built in September 1935 on the campus of Haifenglun Public School, which is now Lufeng Elementary School (陸豐國小). In the post-war period the shrine base was repurposed as a pedestal for a statue of Confucius, while the surviving torii was fitted with a plaque reading “Confucius Garden” (孔園). The gateway was removed and buried during a campus expansion in 1992. When the school marked its centenary in 2018 the buried torii was remembered and dug up; found broken, it was replaced by a new one erected on the original spot, with fragments of the old gateway set alongside it.

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.
