Formally known as Língdé Temple (靈德廟), this city god temple originated as a shrine within a Qing dynasty frontier outpost and is a spiritual offshoot of Changhua Chenghuang Temple (彰化城隍廟). The founding date remains disputed; it is traditionally given as 1831, but recent scholarship suggests closer to 1860, when the outpost was disbanded and its shrine became a public temple. Named Lingde during an 1884 rebuilding and reconstructed around 1925.

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.
