Which city is Taoyuan Martyrs Temple in?

The Martyrs' Shrine in Taoyuan County, formerly known as the Taoyuan Shrine built by the Japanese, is located at No.200, Section 3, Chenggong Road, Taoyuan City, Taoyuan County, Taiwan Province Province.

During the Japanese occupation, the colonial government carried out the policy of "one street, one village, one society" in Taiwan Province Province, in an attempt to replace the central position of temples in the field of social spirit with shrines. Under the implementation of this policy, about 200 shrines, large and small, were built in Taiwan Province Province, and Taoyuan Shrine was one of them.

The Martyrs Temple in Taoyuan County was completed on June 1938+00. In addition to offering sacrifices to the three gods (the soul of a great country, the life of a great man and the life of a teenager) and Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa, they also offered sacrifices to the great god in charge of grain harvest and Emperor Meiji.

After Taiwan Province broke diplomatic relations with Japan, the government announced in Taiwan Province Province the relics showing the superiority of Japanese imperialism during the Japanese occupation, and made it clear that Japanese shrines should be removed immediately. Most shrines in all parts of Taiwan Province were destroyed under this law, and only Taoyuan Shrine was preserved intact.

In 35 years of the Republic of China (1946), the shrine was changed to a martyrs' shrine. 1985, it was decided to demolish and rebuild the martyrs' shrine. After being opposed by all sides, it was finally repaired and kept as it was.
