An institutional shrine (構內社) for the Japanese colonial era pulp and paper factory (鹽水港紙漿工業) located just inside the gate of this complex. Completed in 1943, now only the pedestal remains. It is visible from the roadside but permission would be needed from the security guard at the gatehouse for a closer inspection.

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.
