Yilan Martyrs' Shrine is a quiet memorial complex on the edge of Yilan, with a formal shrine, long stairway, temple elements, and old military hardware set in parkland. It is a short stop rather than a major attraction, but it gives a different mood from the city's museums and markets.
Come if you are already exploring Yuanshan or want a local history detour with a bit of space around it. The steps and wooded setting are part of the visit.
