The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q710242. Authority coordinates are 23.783, 120.333. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank.
