五結加禮宛開山廟

Jialiwan Kaishan Temple

Locations

The main center of faith in this village is a temple venerating the pirate-king Koxinga (鄭成功), credited with opening Taiwan to Han Chinese settlement in earnest. It is located in a former settlement of the Kavalan people, nearly all of whom emigrated to Hualien to escape conflict with Han Chinese settlers in the 19th century.

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.
