Located in the Tianchi Recreation Area, Chang-Ching Shrine was built by the Directorate General of Highways to honor the 116 pioneers who died in road-opening accidents over the years. A horizontal plaque "Eternal Spirits" was placed in the shrine, so the future generations would understand the hardships encountered by those pioneers when they constructed the roads back in the day. The deck in front of the shrine has a vigorous and straight pine tree overlooking the peaks of the Jade Mountains. The view on the deck is splendid. We may wonder if we would have this opportunity to have a magnificent view without the sacrifice made by those pioneers.
