海山神社残蹟, Historic monument in New Taipei City, Taiwan
The ruins are the remains of a former religious complex that stood on elevated ground and still displays stone foundations and individual structural elements. The site is located in New Taipei City and can be explored on foot during a visit.
The complex was built during the Japanese colonial period and served religious purposes until 1945, when Taiwan ended Japanese administration. This transition marked the end of its active use as a worship site.
The site shows how Japanese Shinto elements and local Taiwanese building methods came together in the early 20th century. Visitors can still see this blend of styles in what remains of the structures.
The site is best reached by taking the subway to Banqiao Station and then following the marked trail through the surrounding streets. The terrain itself is fairly easy to walk on, so visiting requires no special equipment.
The stone foundations display geometric patterns of impressive precision that point to advanced engineering techniques used in religious architecture during the 1920s. This precision in execution remains visible today and makes the site particularly interesting for those who care about craftsmanship and construction.
