Martyrs' Shrine Introduction

The Kaohsiung Martyrs' Shrine, located at the southern foothills of Shoushan, was originally built by the Japanese as the "Kannon Shrine." After several renovations, it has added a mountain gate, main hall, front hall, and surrounding corridors, 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, creating a serene environment, with lush greenery and a touch of antiquity in front of the shrine. In recent years, the city government has also installed the LOVE viewing platform next to the Martyrs' Shrine, where the romantic giant art installation complements the shrine's strong aura with a gentle touch. Overlooking the beautiful scenery of the harbor city from above, it has become an ideal spot for tourists to take photos, enjoy nature, and experience the distinct beauty of Greater Kaohsiung at different times of the day.
