An unusual temple to Tudigong (土地公), the Earth God, in Yongjing, housed in a building that looks very much like a Japanese colonial era martial arts hall. It dates to 1930 and, according to a former village head, was designed by a Japanese architect. The temple hosted a branch class of the local elementary school from 1964 to 1968, and the school that grew out of it was named Fude Elementary (福德國小) in gratitude.

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.
