Mehuman Presbyterian Church serves the Tayal community of Huayuan (花園), a mountain village in Wufeng. It was founded in 1946 as Huayuan Church (花園教會), gaining an earthen meeting hall the following year and a brick one in 1957. The congregation, which also includes several Saisiyat Indigenous families, took its present name from the local Mehuman (梅后蔓) settlement in 2004, and the building was renovated in 2018.

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.
