Liutui Martyrs’ Shrine (六堆忠義亭) - Spectral Codex
Liutui Martyrs' Shrine (六堆忠義亭)

Established in 1722, in the aftermath of the Zhu Yigui Rebellion, when Hakka militias successfully repelled rebel forces invading the central plains of Pingtung. It underwent several renovations over the centuries but was in dire shape in the 1980s. More recently a Hakka Cultural Museum (屏東縣客家文物館) was constructed on this site.

Series: Southern Taiwan Ride 2018

Dispatches from a weeklong bicycle trip around southern Taiwan in late 2018. I began the ride in Tainan, crossed into Qishan, headed into the mountainous interior as far as Liugui, did a loop through Pingtung, and finished around Zuoying, visiting the sites of nearly 25 old movie theaters. Many entries remain to be added; this series is far from over.

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.
