A former unranked (無格社) Shinto shrine for Zhunan, built under the Kōminka movement and timed to the 2600th anniversary of Imperial Japan. The enshrinement ceremony was held on December 7th, 1940. It was completely demolished long ago, and the site is now occupied by Chung-Hsin High School of Commerce and Industry (苗栗縣私立中興高級商工職業學校) and Zhunan Public Health Department (竹南鎮衛生所). Known as Chikunan-jinja in the original Japanese.

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.
