An educational shrine (校內社) built on the campus of Yanshui Public School in 1936. After the war it was converted into a shrine venerating Confucius and many of the more overtly Shintoist elements, including the torii, were destroyed. Its heritage value was recognized in the late 2000s and extensively restored in the 2010s. It is not available for viewing during regular school hours. Known as Ensui Public School Shrine in the original Japanese.

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.
