Cenotaph of Loyalty Introduction

Located at the southern foothills of Shoushan, the original site of the Kaohsiung Martyrs' Shrine was the "Kinkōbisha" Shrine built by the Japanese. After several renovations, it has added a mountain gate, main hall, front hall, and corridor pavilions, featuring traditional Chinese palace-style golden glazed tiles, exuding a solemn and grand atmosphere. The area around the Martyrs' Shrine is filled with ancient pines, providing a serene environment. The greenery in front of the shrine and the antiquated ambiance enhance its charm. In recent years, the city government has installed a LOVE viewing platform next to the Martyrs' Shrine, with a romantic giant art installation adding a touch of beauty to the shrine's strong spirit. From this elevated view, visitors can overlook the beautiful scenery of the harbor city, captivating with magnificent grandeur and spectacular views, making it an ideal spot for tourists to take photos, enjoy outings, and appreciate the different charms of Greater Kaohsiung day and night.
