A yōhaijo (遙拜所) or remote worship shrine believed to have been established around 1937 on the summit of Guishan (龜山頂), in what is now the vicinity of Yangmei Guishan Park (貴山客家文化公園). The original site is now marked by a statue of Guanyin. Rumors of a full-fledged Yobai-sha (楊梅社) also circulate, with some sources siting it on the campus of what is now Yangmei High School (楊梅國中), but on-site inspection would be required to confirm the status of any further relics.

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.
