TAIPEI|National Martyrs’ Shrine: The Martyrs’ Brave Spirit

Built on a green hillside in 1969, the impressive National Martyrs’ Shrine was architecturally inspired by the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Beijing’s Forbidden City. It is typical of the northern ‘palace style’ architecture popularised during Chiang Kai-shek’s reign. The shrine is dedicated to the 390,000 soldiers killed in the service of their country during the War of Resistance against Japan and the civil war between the Chinese Republican and communist forces.Each spring and autumn, the president of Taiwan leads both civil and military officials in a public worship, while leaders from Taiwan’s befriended countries come and pay floral tribute.
