Linnei Park Introduction
Linnei Park is located across from the Linnei Township Office. It was originally known as "Linnei Shrine," also referred to as "Japanese Shrine," established in the 14th year of the Showa era, with a history of over sixty years. In the 28th year of the Republic of China, it was renamed Linnei Park, but still retains two old-style Japanese pavilions and six stone lanterns. It is one of the most well-preserved remnants of Japanese shrines in Taiwan, which once worshiped deities such as the Three Gods of Creation, Toyosuke Okami, and Prince Nuku. As you stroll up the steps, the old trees on both sides and the chirping birds create a serene atmosphere. At the top of the stairs, there is a two-compound temple, with the main hall being the Jiegong Temple, offering a stunning view of the confluence of the Qingshui and Zhuoshui Rivers. The rear hall houses the Confucius Temple, which is said to be the former location of the shrine. During examination season, many parents take their students there to pray to the Sage of Confucius for better academic success.
