The traditional territorial guardian temple of Kezailiao (蚵仔寮), an oyster-farming community on the coast of Ziguan, Kaohsiung, dedicated to Guangze Zunwang (廣澤尊王). Local fishermen are said to have recovered the deity’s image while fishing off Shoushan (壽山) in 1869, and the present temple was established at this site in 1917. It is distinguished by its nonstandard terrazzo columns.

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.
