Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine and Cultural Park Introduction
The Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine, located on Huting Mountain in Taoyuan City, was completed in 1938. It was originally built as the "Taoyuan Shrine" by the Japanese and is the best-preserved Shinto shrine from the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. The architectural style blends ancient Chinese Tang Dynasty, Japanese, and modern Taiwanese elements, constructed with high-quality Taiwanese cypress wood. It was officially designated as a city-level historic site in 1994 due to its unique historical and cultural value. It was also chosen as a filming location for the movie "KANO," allowing audiences to deeply experience the memories of the 1930s.
