Established in 1767 and relocated along with the rest of the original settlement a few decades later. The small temple on site today features a design dating back to 1907, when it was rebuilt after a series of earthquakes. The scale of the original temple was larger but road widening projects have encroached on the temple’s forecourt, reducing it to its current footprint. Baosheng Dadi (保生大帝) is the primary deity venerated here.

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.
