Luye Shrine Introduction
Luye Shrine is located in Longtian Village, Luye Township. It was funded by the Taitung Sugar Corporation and built by Japanese immigrant volunteers from Luye Village, relocating to its current site in 1931 (Showa 6). The original shrine building was demolished after the war, leaving only the base, which was originally also planned for demolition. However, local residents began actively advocating for the preservation of the local history in 2013. Eventually, they invited a specialized master from Japan to repair shrines, and together with Taiwanese carpenters, they successfully reconstructed the shrine at its original site. Standing in the plain, the shrine, surrounded by farms and hills, creates a tranquil and lush historical landscape that has attracted many visitors for photo opportunities since its reopening.
