We Have All Heard Of The Leaning Tower Of Pisa,

but how many of us have heard about about the leaning Taihe Zhenxing Palace (振興宮舊址)?


I have tried to credit this photograph but can not find the photographer, in August of 2009, Taiwan was hit by Typhoon Morakot, this was the most violent typhoon to hit the island in its recorded history, it led to huge amounts of rainfall that resulted in massive mudflows and intense flooding throughout Taiwan, the typhoon left massive destruction and regrettably took several human casualties, but it also produced one of Taiwan’s most unusual tourist attractions, the Taihe Zhenxing Palace, a place of worship tilted at about 45 degrees, 

earlier this year, after photos and videos shot there went viral online, the Taihe Zhenxing Palace was even featured on national television and dubbed Taiwan’s version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, for the full story have a look here, what a great place for a photoshoot!
