A Guanyin temple on Provincial Highway 1 on the southern outskirts of Tongxiao, formerly known as the Wulipai Guanyin Pavilion (五里牌觀音亭). Local tradition traces its founding to 1835, when a traveller from China is said to have left a Guanyin image beneath a tree and villagers built a shrine to house it. Beside the temple is a garden of stone statuary depicting characters from Journey to the West and a large image of Guanyin.

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.
