Dr CW Lau would like to share his Okinawa Trip photos. Information from English and Chinese Wikipedia: The Shuri Castle( 首里城 Shurijō) is a Ryūkyūan castle in Shuri, Okinawa. It was the palace of the Ryūkyū Kingdom from 15th to 19th centuries. In 1945, during the Battle of Okinawa, it was almost completely destroyed, with only a few walls standing as high as a few decimeters. In 1992, it was reconstructed on the original site based on photographs, historical records, and memory.
