A former Shinto shrine established on the grounds of what was then known as Dainan Sugarcane Seedling Office (大南蔗苗養成所), now the Seed Improvement and Propagation Station (農業部種苗改良繁殖場), in November 1932. The shrine’s base survives, topped by a Taiwan Retrocession Monument (光復紀念碑), and two stone lanterns also remain. It is also known as Dainan Sugarcane Seedling Office Shrine (蔗苗養成所神社). Find it on the northeast side of the complex after signing in at the gatehouse.

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.
