It was originally a shrine during the Japanese colonial period. Although it was later demolished, the torii and stone lanterns that are currently preserved can still give you a sense of the old atmosphere. Standing under the torii, there are mountains and trees behind you, and the air is very clean. For a moment, it seems like you are not in Taiwan. There are no tourists here. Instead, you often see locals riding bicycles, walking their dogs, and jogging. It is a quiet corner for Luye people. Although the shrine is not large, it is a place worth a short stop for those who like taking photos or are interested in historical spaces. ⸻ 🎒 Tips • There is no sales point, remember to bring your own water and sunscreen • It is recommended to arrange a tour before or after the Luye Plateau or hot air balloon activities • Keep quiet and do not disturb the lives of local residents #7月好去处2025
