Linsen Park (林森公園) is built on the site of a former public cemetery in Japanese colonial times. This was the final resting place of Akashi Motojiro (1864–1919), seventh Governor-General of Taiwan, and the original torii from his tomb still stands here.

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.
