Xindian Kaitian Temple (新店開天宮) - Spectral Codex

Historic temple built on top of a riverside residential complex. Although it was founded in 1751 it has been rebuilt several times since and no longer has much of an old atmosphere. Beneath the temple is an old water diversion tunnel.

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.
