Taipei Martyrs' Shrine
Description
The National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine is dedicated to the people who sacrificed their lives fighting for the Republic of China. The buildings on this compound, modeled after Ming Dynasty palaces, are skillfully crafted. Two military police officers stand guard at the front gate on Bei An Road, while two other officers guard the main shrine inside. The changing of the guards occurs once every hour and is quite an elaborate process.
After visiting the place and read up on the heroes article, I am full of respect for them. And also the change of guard is also worth seeing. But do not expect fanciful deco, this is a solmely place.
