National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine

Built in 1969, the National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine stands on the slopes of Mt. Chingshan, overlooking the Keelung River in Taipei. This striking landmark, inspired by the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Beijing’s Forbidden City, is dedicated to the 390,000 soldiers who lost their lives during the Chinese Civil War. Visitors can witness the hourly Changing of the Guard ceremony, a precise and solemn ritual that draws many to the site. The shrine’s grand architecture and serene setting offer a poignant tribute to those who sacrificed their lives.
