📝 Experience Sharing
Luye Shrine is small, but surprisingly charming. 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.
