A historic temple that has undergone numerous renovations and expansions over the years. It traces its history back to 1688 and primarily venerates Nezha (哪吒). In a somewhat unusual twist, the former temple has been preserved, while a much larger and newer temple has been constructed behind it. Typhoon Danas knocked down the statue of Nezha in the park next to the new temple in 2025.

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.
