Kankei Shrine, Shinto shrine in Yilan City, Taiwan.

The shrine contains several ceremonial structures, including a Torii gate, purification fountain, stone lanterns, and traditional guardian lion-dogs called Komainu.

Established in 1906 during Japanese rule, this shrine underwent relocation in 1918 due to structural problems caused by natural disasters.

The shrine transformation from Shinto to Martyrs status represents the significant changes in Taiwan's religious practices following the end of Japanese colonial period.

Visitors can reach the shrine grounds through regular bus services departing from Yilan Bus Station to explore the remaining historical elements.

The Bronze Horse statue stands as the sole intact feature from the original shrine, marking a connection between past and present within Yuanshan Park.
