Eternal Water Chapel

　　Eternal Water Chapel is situated next to the Shangri-La's Taroko Park Hotel in Yilan. It is a waterside chapel specially created for romantic weddings, and its name carries deep meaning. Its English name is a very romantic European one, combining the Italian words "acqu" (water) and "vita" (eternity). The chapel took nearly two years to build.

　　Being built in the middle of the water was an unprecedented move in Taiwan. Coupled with its beautiful exterior and dreamy atmosphere, the Water Chapel gained fame as soon as it opened. Its official inauguration coincided with the centennial year of the Republic of China, riding the wave of the centennial wedding boom. Couples could enjoy a fantastical and exquisite wedding scene without spending a fortune traveling abroad, making it a top choice for many couples’ wedding venues. In addition to its colorful small domes, the entire chapel is based on a holy white tone both inside and out, appearing especially radiant at night. The interior of the chapel is decorated in pure white, complemented by crystal chandeliers, white long-row seating, and a white piano, giving every couple standing at the altar a sense of sanctity.

　　Extending outside the main entrance is a waterside corridor that connects the chapel to the shore. The sides of the corridor are enclosed by transparent glass railings, and at the far end stands a Bell of Happiness, facing the Water Chapel. As the wedding ceremony concludes and the newlyweds step out of the chapel, the chiming of the Bell of Happiness, accompanied by the blessings of the guests, leaves them with touching memories.
