## Visit Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine

Activities

#### Admire Tang dynasty architecture and cherry blossom courtyards at this former Shinto shrine, one of the largest such monuments outside of Japan.

As you explore Taoyuan’s culturally rich Hutoushan district, stop at the photogenic Taoyuan Shrine. This Shinto memorial is the perfect place to enjoy a moment’s peace and reflect on the soldiers who lost their lives in Taiwan’s struggles.

The Taoyuan Shrine was built in 1938 as a Shinto shrine by Japanese occupants, as part of the “Nipponification” of Taiwan. It was converted into the Hsinchu County Martyrs’ Shrine after World War II and then the Taoyuan Martyrs’ Shrine in 1950.

Approach this peaceful complex via a pathway through the forested surroundings. Admire the shrine’s low-key architectural beauty, which combines motifs of Japanese styles with architectural designs originating from the Tang dynasty. Be sure to bring a camera this juniper wood construction framed by forests and decorative trees provides beautiful inspiration for photographers.

The Taoyuan Shrine is one of the best-kept Shinto shrines outside of Japan, having survived widespread demolition of Japanese buildings during the 20th century. Take a guided tour and learn about why it was spared. Aside from its visual beauty, this structure enshrines Emperor Meiji and Prince Yoshihisa Kitashirakawa. As you explore, take note of several inscribed boards, which were left by visiting politicians.

Spend some time in the inner courtyard, which is decorated by cherry blossom trees with lovely blooms. Though the inner sanctum to the shrine has restricted entry, it can be seen from afar. It takes about 20 minutes to see everything accessible at the site.

Afterward, enjoy a romantic stroll through Hutoushan Park, which encompasses several other temples and gardens. Let kids entertain themselves in a playground area while you enjoy the landscape of lotus ponds and cherry trees. Climb to the top of Hutoushan Park’s hill at night for spectacular views over the city.

Taoyuan Shrine is a short drive northwest of Taoyuan’s city center. Get here easily using the city’s public bus system. Alternatively, drive and use on-site parking. The shrine is open daily and entry is free.

8/10 Very Good! (710 reviews)

Small but nice hotel. Beds and pillows firm, which I like. The included breakfast, though not fancy, was a delightful treat. ACs work great. A couple minutes walk to nearest night market, and lots of restaurants nearby. I absolutely would stay here again.
