林氏家廟追遠堂

An ancestral shrine of the Lin family in central Yilan City, established in 1835 during the Qing dynasty. It took its present two-hall form in 1869 and was renovated again between 1923 and 1925; the front hall and side corridors retain the materials of that campaign, whereas the main hall was partly rebuilt in concrete in 1993. Some family members proposed replacing it with a commercial tower in the 1990s, but the shrine endured and was designated a county monument in December 2020.

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.
