A small Buddhist temple above a ferry pier on the southern shore of Sun Moon Lake (日月潭), completed in 1956 by Yuchi Township as a temporary home for part of the skull relic of Xuanzang (玄奘) sent from Jion-ji (慈恩寺) in Saitama, Japan. The relic was moved to the newly completed Xuanzang Temple in 1965, and the township office has run the temple directly since 2010.

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.
