Martyrs' Shrine Introduction

The Kaohsiung Martyrs' Shrine, located at the southern foot of Shoushan, was originally built by the Japanese as the "Konpira Shrine". After several renovations, it has added a mountain gate, a main hall, a front hall, and corridors, adorned with traditional Chinese palace-style golden glazed tiles, exuding a solemn and grand atmosphere. The Martyrs' Shrine is surrounded by ancient pines, creating a serene environment. The lush greenery in front of the shrine and its antique charm have attracted the city government to build a LOVE viewing platform next to the shrine in recent years. This romantic giant installation adds a touch of softness to the strong aura of the shrine. From its elevated position, visitors can overlook the beautiful scenery of the harbor city, which is magnificent and spectacular, making it the best spot for tourists to take photos, enjoy nature, and appreciate the changing beauty of Greater Kaohsiung day and night.
