The first Confucian temple in Yilan was founded in 1865 by local degree-holders and built out over the following decade on a layout modelled after Tainan Confucian Temple. Requisitioned as a garrison hospital under Japanese rule and bombed during World War 2 while serving as a grain store, it was left in ruins in the early post-war period and eventually demolished. The present temple was rebuilt on the north side of the city in 1953 at a much reduced scale, completed in stages over the following decades and listed as a historic building in 2021. It continues to host annual rites on September 28th.

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.
