Founded in 1916 by lumber merchants and timber yard workers in the Liaoguan (料館) area on the western margins of Wanhua. It was originally a private shrine in the home of lumber dealer Huang Jiangsheng but the community gradually expanded it into a public temple, adding altars to other gods such as Guangong along the way.

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.
