An ornately decorated Catholic church built in Chinese palatial style. The parish was originally established in 1955 by a German Franciscan missionary but this church was completed in 1986 under the fifth parish priest Lǐ Shàofēng (李少峰) from Shaanxi, China. The interior is painted with biblical scenes rendered in a style commonly seen in Taiwanese folk religious temples.

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.
