Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine, Monument shrine in Taoyuan District, Taiwan.

The Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine features traditional Japanese design elements, including a water ablution shelter, guardian lion-dogs, and distinct architectural styles in its halls.

Built in 1938 during Japanese colonial rule as Touen Shinto Shrine, the structure was transformed into Taoyuan County Martyrs' Shrine in 1950 after World War II.

The shrine contains memorial tablets dedicated to Chinese war heroes and includes a statue of Koxinga, reflecting the complex heritage of Taiwanese history.

The shrine, located at coordinates 25.0063°N and 121.325°E, serves as both a memorial site and an educational center for visitors interested in Taiwan's past.

The structure remains one of the few preserved Shinto shrines outside Japan, constructed with unpainted cypress wood from Taiwan and cedar from Japan.
