Martyr's Shrine 忠烈祠

While taking the bus to Nihau, which is one of the major business districts in Taipei city I went to visit the Martyr's Shrine 忠烈祠, or at least I think that was the name of this monument.

It wasn’t a planned visit but I happened to see this place though the bus window so on the way back from Nihau I thought I would drop by. I have posted some photograph, which I took below.

Front entrance.

Lovely roofs.

The inner gardens.

Jungle portal

Around the back.

Traditional window patterns.

Also completely randomly when I was sightseeing around Nihau I was on my way to a coffee shop and I could hear this person shouting out my name really loudly a couple of times, but when I turned around I couldn’t see anyone.

As I was walking away I thought I could hear someone shouting my name again, but I though nah I am in Taiwan 12,000 miles away from the UK it must be some crazy Taiwanese person! Low and behold who comes rushing in to the café to say hello Jonathan B.
