Established in February 1930 as Hinan-shi and mostly destroyed and lost after 1974. The remains of the original path and the concrete pedestal still exist, but they’re difficult to locate beneath the overgrowth, and some help from local residents may be necessary. A concrete span over the drainage ditch on the right side of the nearby road would be a good place to start. Also known more generally as Beinan Shinto Shrine (卑南祠) based on the modern Mandarin reading.
