Located on Tiger Head Mountain in Tongxiao, Miaoli, there is a historic “Tongxiao Shrine,” built in the 12th year of the Showa era (1937), which is a historical structure left over from the Japanese colonial period. After years of weathering, the ancient building emits a serene and mysterious beauty.

Climbing up to the shrine offers a vast view, allowing you to overlook the streets of Tongxiao Township. Walking along the shrine steps under the interlacing shadows of trees is refreshing and feels just like stepping into a scene from *Your Name*. The historic site of Tongxiao Shrine includes the main hall, worship hall, approach path, torii gate, and the abandoned shrine office. Aside from the shrine buildings and torii gate, this abandoned office exudes a long-standing historical aura, making it one of the must-photograph spots for many visitors.
