We woke up extra early today to go see Martyrs' Shrine, to see the changing of the guards. It was actually cold enough for me to wear jeans!
These beautiful building which was dedicated to the people who sacrificed their lives fighting the Republic of China.
Each of these plaques represents each man who fought.
Two military police officers stand guard at the front gate on Bei An Road.
Two other officers guard the main shrine inside. The guards are supposed to remain absolutely silent and still during their shift, but if you watch closely, you can occasionally see their eyes wander.
The changing of the guards occurs once every hour and starts with the two new guards marching up from the road towards the guards postioned at the main shrine. If you look at the ground you can see where the stone has worn down and turned colour because it is so often walked on.
