A historic temple tracing its roots back to 1716. The primary deity venerated here is Xuanwu (玄武大帝). A pair of komainu from the now-vanished Zhuqi Shinto Shrine can also be found 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.
