Established in 1959 to honor members of the Hunan Army (湘軍) slain in battle with the Tayal Indigenous people of the area in the mid-1880s. This site previously gathered the remains collected in the Japanese colonial era after a nearby hillside was cultivated for sweet potatoes. It was originally known as Junmin Temple (軍民廟) but it was renamed during an expansion in 1985.

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.
