This paper tries to focus on the construction of Taiwan Shrine (a Shinto shrine) 1899-1901, besides the reformation of urban area inside the Taipei Fort, as a project that played a significant role in the reorganization of Taipei into a Japanese colonial city. The site for the shrine was kept away out of the fort and raised halfway up Mt. Chientan because the shrine required both pure natural landscapes and the correspondence with the urban area. The shrine was connected with the newly planned government quater in the fort by the Chokushi-Kaido, an approach road to the shrine, and closely related by the shrine rituals.
