Changchun Shrine

Situated against a cliff face overlooking cascading waterfalls and lush greenery, the shrine offers a picturesque backdrop that's ideal for photography and enjoying the natural beauty of Taroko Gorge. While the shrine itself holds historical and cultural significance, its appreciation may vary depending on your expectations and preferences. We find that the shrine is better appreciated from afar, as the close-up experience may not always match the grandeur portrayed in photographs. The small size of the shrine itself may not justify the effort for all visitors. Consider enjoying the views of the shrine from viewpoints along the trail without necessarily climbing up to it, especially if you prefer to avoid crowds or have limited time.

The access is on the right side stairway after the red bridge. Walking through the rock tunnel makes it exciting getting to the shrine. Some lovely photos of the colourful buildings and the river flowing down the rocks. Also nice views over the river flowing down the wide gorge, at this point.

Cute short hike to reach this place. We lucked out and manage to watch the nuns praying! It has beautiful views, just like everywhere in taroko gorge!

One of the most best inside Taroko Gorge and a must-see place when you're there visiting - the temple is lovely and to read the stories about the history is fascinating - defiantly take a walk up to see the views too!

A place like out of a fairytale. There's currently not much to do here since the trail is closed, but the view is just stunning. You can walk up to the shrine and see it from up close but it just looks so fantastic from afar. Weather wasn't very good, the rain was drizzling, but this only added to the atmosphere. Would have loved to try the trail, so I'll be back sometime in the future.

The glass that turned me and made the best evening 🌀

Walking to the Shrine is to remember those who died when building this highway. The building was built with waterfalls. Walk up and back give you a different view of the Liwu river and Changchun Bridge.

Very cool walk to see the temple that seems so little from a distance then it's actually kimda small up close. You can see the waterfall source at the top. There are some cool scenes to see on the way to the temple. A must see place in Taroko.

ChangChun Shrine (Eternal Spring Shrine) was built in 1958 to commemorate the 212 persons who died constructing the Central Cross-Island Highway.
