Shinbulo Shinto Shrine

This remote Shinto shrine was constructed as early as 1923, part of Japanese colonial efforts to subjugate the Taiwanese Indigenous people in this area of the mountains. Not much is known about its post-war history but the site appears to have been refashioned according to Bunun traditions. It is situated on a hillside west of the main settlement in the area. It is also written as Xinwulu Shrine (新武呂祠) in some sources, and a date of establishment of July 1934 is sometimes given, implying that it may have been upgraded or modified at some point. This is based on the Bunun place name Samuluh.
