Liming Shinto Shrine

Provisionally named for the nearby Liming settlement (黎明聚落), this shrine’s official identity is unknown. Liming began as a Japanese colonial era garrison post in the early 1920s, with timber exploitation following in the early 1930s and the shrine likely soon after. The forest railway running through the area was destroyed by typhoon-induced flooding in 1959 and the site was slowly forgotten until mountaineering became popular in recent decades. Reached only by a demanding hike along the Lileng Forest Road (裡冷林道) at an elevation of roughly 2,350 meters, the site retains its intact stone base among other scattered remnants.
