A district shrine (鄉社) established in February 1938 and partly preserved in Zhushan Park (竹山公園). The torii, komainu, several lanterns, and other relics remain, making this one of the more interesting former shrines to visit in Nantou. It was known as Takeyama-sha 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.
