Zhong Ying Shrine, Religious shrine in Taipei, Taiwan

The Zhong Ying Shrine features traditional wooden architecture with decorated columns and intricately designed roof elements that follow classic Taiwanese temple patterns.

Built between 1900 and 1901, the shrine honored Prince Yoshihisa and the Three Kami Deities of Pioneering during Taiwan's Japanese colonial period.

The shrine functioned as a primary religious center where Japanese residents participated in Shinto ceremonies and maintained their spiritual connections.

The original shrine location now houses the Grand Hotel, and visitors can learn about its past through exhibits at the National Taiwan Museum.

In 1944, the shrine received the elevated status of Grand Shrine when Amaterasu was enshrined, but a cargo plane crash damaged it before the opening ceremony.
