The Chung-liet Shrine in Taipei is backed by Green Mountains and faces the Keelung River. Completed in 1969, its main structure is modeled after the Taihe Hall of Beijing's Forbidden City, with grandeur and magnificence to symbolize the martyrs' fearless dedication to sacrificing their lives for justice. Surrounded by over 10,000 square meters of lush green grassland, the shrine is framed by surrounding mountains, creating a tranquil and solemn atmosphere that underscores the architectural solemnity.
The shrine enshrines revolutionaries from before the establishment of the Republic of China and military personnel who died in the anti-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War, allowing future generations to reflect on the patriotism of these brave soldiers.
Guards at the shrine's front gate are meticulously trained and always stand firm. The hourly changing of the guard ceremony, with synchronized movements performed swiftly and precisely, head-up and chest-out footsteps showcasing the soldiers' regal bearing, is immensely popular among tourists and frequently attracts photographers.
