Cailiao Shinto Shrine (菜寮社) - Spectral Codex

An unofficial shrine (大麻奉齋殿) next to the former Cailiao Police Station (菜寮警察官吏派出所). It had a pedestal, fence, and torii, but not much else. It was officiated by Chen Chunmu (陳春木), who worked at the neighboring office of the hokō system of community policing. Likely demolished after the war, as there was considerable resentment among the local people. According to the guard at the fossil museum it was located within the grounds but nothing remains of it today. Some sources also list Zuozhen Shrine (左鎮社), but it is unclear whether there was a second shrine in the area.
