Kaohsiung Martyrs' Shrine, Monument in Gushan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
The Martyrs' Shrine stands on Shoushan hillside, featuring a main hall with double-hipped roof covered in golden glazed tiles and traditional Chinese architecture.
Originally built as Takao Kotohira Shrine in 1910 during Japanese rule, the site transformed into a martyrs' shrine after Taiwan's return to the Republic of China.
The shrine preserves historical documents and artifacts related to revolution martyrs, maintaining their memory through dedicated exhibition spaces and ceremonial halls.
Visitors can reach the shrine by taking the Kaohsiung MRT to Sizihwan Station and following a short walking path to the north of the station.
Stone lanterns from the original Takao Shrine remain on the grounds, connecting the modern structure to its century-old Japanese shrine origins.
