A newly-built Shinto shrine in Yujing, Tainan, dedicated to the safety of motorcyclists. It was established by the Taiwanese riding group Taiwan Wule (台灣輪樂) and consecrated on January 28th, 2026, as the first overseas outpost of Japan’s motorcycle shrine (オートバイ神社) movement. Yujing was chosen for the winding mountain roads that draw riders from across Taiwan, and the site doubles as a rest stop with an attached shop and café, also named Wule (輪樂). In a local adaptation foreign to Shinto convention, visitors offer incense at the shrine.

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.
