A temple to Baosheng Dadi (保生大帝), a medicine god and patron of settlers from Quanzhou, founded in 1822 with incense carried from Dalongdong Bao’an Temple so that worshippers no longer had to cross the river to pray. Floods on the low-lying ground destroyed its early buildings more than once, and the temple was rebuilt on a larger scale in 1971 as the biggest in Yonghe. Its current three-hall complex replaced that building between 2011 and 2016 at a reported cost of NT 600 million.

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.
