Linnei Park sits opposite the Linnei Township Office. Originally known as the “Linnei Shrine,” or “Japanese Shrine,” it was built in the 14th year of the Shōwa era—over sixty years ago. In 1939 it was renamed Linnei Park, yet two old Japanese-style torii gates and six stone lantern stands remain, making it one of Taiwan’s most intact Japanese-shrine relics. In the past, the deities worshipped here included the Three Creators, Toyouke-Ōmikami, and Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa. Climb the stone steps and you walk beneath aging trees alive with birdsong; the air is serene. At the top stands a two-courtyard temple: the front hall is dedicated to Jigong, with sweeping views over the confluence of the clear Qingshui and muddy Zhuoshui Rivers; the rear hall is the Confucius Temple, said to occupy the former site of the shrine’s main sanctuary. Each exam season, parents bring their children here to honor the Sage and pray for academic success.
