Martyrs' Shrine Introduction

Located at the southern foot of Shoushan, the original site of the Kaohsiung Martyrs' Shrine was built by the Japanese as the "Kotohira Shrine." After several renovations and reorganizations, it has been enhanced with a mountain gate, a main hall, and a corridor pavilion, featuring traditional Chinese palace-style golden glazed tiles, radiating a solemn and magnificent atmosphere. The area surrounding the Martyrs' Shrine is filled with ancient pines, creating a tranquil environment. With lush greenery and an antique style in front of the shrine, the city government has recently installed the LOVE viewing platform next to the Martyrs' Shrine. This romantic giant installation art adds a touch of softness to the strong demeanor of the shrine. From a high vantage point, visitors can gaze at the stunning scenery of Kaohsiung, which is grand and spectacular, making it a prime spot for tourists to take photos, enjoy nature, and appreciate the day and night beauty of Greater Kaohsiung.
