Dawan Guosheng Temple (大灣國聖宮)

A lively temple in the Dawan area of Yongkang venerating Koxinga. There are three uniquely Taiwanese deities also worshipped here, all with roots in the local community: Huang Pin (黃聘), deified as Taima (太媽), one of the original settlers in this area, who arrived in 1711 and passed away in 1771; Xie Shuilan (謝水藍), a generous member of the local gentry, deified as Xie Fu Quansui (謝府千歲); and Zheng Laoying (鄭老嬰), formerly a primary school teacher in the Japanese colonial era, who passed in 1975, and is now honored as Zhengtan Zunwang (鄭壇尊王).

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.
