• Taitung Railway Art Village & Tiehua Music Village

• The old railway area has been creatively transformed into what is perhaps Taitung’s most compelling “old-meets-new” attraction. The former Taitung train station & adjacent warehouses have been repurposed into an arts center, complete with studios, performance spaces & the Hualien Railway Culture Museum. Evening visits bring Tiehua Music Village to life—live performances (often by indigenous or indie artists), artsy installations, craft stalls & romantic lantern-lit paths create a vibrant, relaxed ambience.

FENG SHUI – 風水

• Feng Shui in Taitung – 臺東縣文化中風水的角色

• _____ – Feng shui in the culture of Taitung – 臺東縣文化中風水的角色

• prnewswire.com – Austronesian culture makes a great city – Interview with April Yao, Magistrate of Taitung @ PR Newswire . com
• discover.taitung.gov.tw – Southeast Taiwan Loop – Arts & Culture in Taitung @ Taitung County Government website
• wikipedia.org – Dragon veins – 龍脈/龙脉 @ Wikipedia . org

• Natural Landscape as a Feng Shui Foundation:

• Feng Shui & Spiritual Landscape in Taitung County: In Taitung County, Feng Shui isn’t so much a formal school as it is an intuitive dialogue between people, land & spirit. Temples and sacred sites—like Tianhou Temple in the city, Chengguangao Matsu Temple by the sea, and Kunci Temple on fertile plains—naturally align with Feng Shui principles: each temple is placed where protective mountain energy meets flowing water, where architectural design honors cosmic balance & where cultural integration amplifies spiritual resonance.

• Mountains and Ocean: “Dragon Veins” & Qi Flow. Taiwan’s geography is rich in Feng Shui symbolism. The Central Mountain Range acts as the island’s “dragon’s spine,” guiding the flow of earth energy, or “Qi”. Taitung, nestled between mountains & the Pacific Ocean, naturally benefits from strong protective & wealth-bringing energy channels.

• Temple Locations—Strategic by Design: Temples in Taitung often occupy places where mountain and water energies harmonize – consistent with key Feng Shui principles. This placement of temples reflects a deep-rooted belief in aligning human-built structures with the natural balance of “Qi”.

• Key Temples & Their Feng Shui Significance:

• Taitung Tianhou Temple serves as a center for worship, especially during the Lantern Festival & the Bombing of Master Han Dan. This Mazu temple enjoys prominence in both spiritual & community life. Its positioning near the harbor aligns with Feng Shui tradition: placing spiritual centers facing water to attract positive energy and protection.

• taitungtianhou.org.tw – Taitung Tianhou Temple – 台東天后宮 – website
• taitung.gov.tw – Taitung Tianhou Temple – 台東天后宮

• Chengguangao Matsu Temple (Chenggong Township). As the oldest Mazu temple on Taiwan’s east coast, this temple exemplifies auspicious siting—melding coastal energies (water Qi) with indigenous artistry, a symbolic blend reflecting Feng Shui’s holistic approach to harmony between human structures & the environment.

• Kunci Temple (Luye Township). Located on a fertile plain along the Beinan River, its east-facing orientation is harmonious with the sun’s path and river Qi—both auspicious Feng Shui components. The blending of Taoist, Buddhist, and local Shinto imagery further underscores Feng Shui’s integrative ethos.

• goteamjosh.com – Luye Shinto Shrine (鹿野神社) @ Josh Ellis Photography blog
• taipeitimes.com – Traces of Japan in a southern village @ Taipei Times . com

• Linyen Shih (Spiritual Cliff Temple inside Baxian Caves). While outside Taitung City proper, this temple within the Baxian Caves is noteworthy. Carved into a sea cliff, it merges mountain (solid, protective energy) & water (flowing, wealth-related energy), embodying Feng Shui harmony in a natural context.

• Everyday Feng Shui Influence in Taitung:

• Temple Architecture & Energy Flow: In Taitung County as across Taiwan, temple layouts follow Feng Shui principles. Temples often face water; they have protective mountain backdrops & their architecture includes auspicious symbolic elements like dragons & tigers. The design of temple gates and their colors (red for fortune, gold for wealth), are designed, along with roof motifs, to balance Yin & Yang energies.

• taitung.gov.tw – Local cultural energy @ Taitung Government website

• Cultural Practice in Daily and Business Life. Taiwan widely embraces Feng Shui in land use & architecture. Real estate and business decisions commonly involve Feng Shui consultation. The “dragon veins” guiding site selection are integral to understanding spatial harmony in Taitung’s architecture & development.

• twtraveller.com – Taiwanese Superstitions: Beliefs and Practices @ TW Traveler . com
• wikipedia.org – Dragon veins – 龍脈/龙脉 @ Wikipedia . org

• Community Beliefs and Practices:

• Temples Along Trails & Remote Areas. In Taiwan, small shrines and temples are often located in remote or mountainous areas. These are placed for protection, safe journeys, and are sometimes built on lands deemed spiritually auspicious by Feng Shui, including those with “dragon veins”.

• Local Terms and Traditions. Community narratives often tie into Feng Shui principles. Temples “naturally” appear in places where energy feels alive: coastlines, foothills & river valleys. All of these forms in the landscape play a significant role in charting the pulse of Taitung’s spiritual & geographical identity.

• Shrines in Taitung – 臺東縣文化中聖地的角色
• There are several notable shrines in Taitung County, each with a unique blend of history, religion & cultural transformation:
  
  1. Luye Shrine (龍田神社) at Kunci Temple (Luye Township)
  Historical background: This reconstructed Shinto shrine sits within Kunci Temple in Longtian Village. Originally built by Japanese settlers in 1923 and relocated in 1931, it was dedicated to Prince Yoshihisa and the Kaitaku Sanjin. After 1945, it was repurposed for local folk religious worship (particularly Tudi Gong), and in 1958 the site also incorporated Queen Mother of the West statues Wikipedia.
  Modern reconstruction: In 2015, a faithful restoration was completed using Japanese Hinoki cypress by craftsmen referencing historical photos. While architecturally faithful, it no longer serves religious purposes Wikipedia.
  Bonus: A majestic 80-year-old chinaberry tree stands on the temple grounds. It’s known among Tzu Chi adherents as a place visited by their founder, Cheng Yen, for Dharma talks Wikipedia.
  
  2. Taitung Tianhou Temple’s Martyrs Shrine Wing

Established as a Martyrs Shrine in 1893, it commemorates Yuan Wento and Admiral Zhang Zhao-Lian—figures honored for quelling local rebellions during the Qing era. Over time, it has been reconstructed and relocated within the Tianhou Temple grounds taiwangods.moi.gov.tw.
  
  3. Taitung Martyrs Shrine (臺東忠烈祠)
  Colonial legacy: Built on the former site of a Shinto Shrine, today it serves as a war memorial honoring fallen Republic of China military personnel. Though the original Shinto shrine structures are gone, the Martyrs Shrine retains the elevated worship hall and pavilion layout typical of its predecessor .
  
  Cultural Context: Why Shrines Like These Exist in Taiwan
  Many shrines in Taiwan began as Shinto structures during Japanese colonial rule and were later repurposed into Martyrs Shrines or other local sacred sites after WWII Taiwan TodayWikipediataiwangods.moi.gov.tw.
  Additionally, Tudi Gong (Earth God) shrines have long served as spiritual landmarks along rural routes and mountain trails. These small shrines were built by settlers to protect travelers and agriculture and often evolved into more elaborate temples over time Reddit.
