Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine, Monument shrine in Taoyuan District, Taiwan.
The Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine is a memorial building in Taoyuan, Taiwan, built with Japanese architectural features. It includes an ablution shelter, guardian lion-dogs, and multiple halls with different design styles throughout the grounds.
The shrine was built in 1938 during Japanese colonial rule under the name Touen Shinto Shrine. It was transformed into Taoyuan County Martyrs' Shrine in 1950 following the end of World War II.
The shrine serves as a place where people honor those who gave their lives for Taiwan. Visitors encounter memorial tablets and a statue of Koxinga that reflect the layered history of the island.
The grounds are easy to navigate and offer room for exploration, with different buildings and areas that take time to see properly. Visitors should plan to spend enough time viewing all the sections and details throughout the site.
This is one of the few preserved Shinto shrines outside Japan and was built using unpainted cypress wood from Taiwan and cedar imported from Japan. The rare combination of local and imported materials reflects the cultural blend of that historical period.
