A historic temple established on a hilltop in 1847. It has been rebuilt several times, and when Mingde Reservoir was filled in 1970, the hilltop became an island (海棠島) accessible by a suspension bridge (海棠島吊橋) and causeway. More recently it also opened the Yongchun Temple Hakka Cultural Museum (永春宮客家文物館) on site.

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.
