In-Depth Information
(Mínsú Wénwùguǎn; 152 Jhongshan Rd; admission NT$130; 9am-5pm, no entry after 4.30pm,
closed Mon)
The Folk Arts Museum has always been one of our favourite heritage sites in
Lukang. Built in the Japanese era and originally the residence of a wealthy local family,
the museum houses a large collection of daily-life artefacts from a bygone age.
Din Family Old House
HISTORIC BUILDING
(Dīngjiā Jīnshī Gǔcuò; 132 Zhongshan Rd; 9am-5pm)
This beautifully restored
Fujian-style house is the last remaining imperial scholar's home in Lukang.
Glass Matsu Temple
TAOIST TEMPLE
(Bōlí Māzǔ Miào; 30 Lugongnansi Rd)
A remarkable structure standing inside the coastal park
8km west of the old town, this new Lukang attraction is built with 70,000 pieces of glass,
while the mountain behind the Matsu statue is made with 1400 pieces of the same stuff
layered one on top of the other. Come visit at night when the LED lights are on.
Old Market Street
STREET
(Gǔshì Jiē)
The merchant streets of old Lukang are well represented by the shops lining
both sides of the curved, red-tiled lanes of what is now called Old Market St. You can
shop for traditional items, try some local delicacies or just enjoy a stroll through history.
Nine Turns Lane (Chinseng Lane)
STREET
(Jiǔqū Xiàng)
Don't bother counting the turns as you wend your way past some of the old-
est and most charming residences in Lukang on Nine Turns Lane. The number nine
refers to the ninth month - cold winds blow down from Mongolia at this time of year and
the turns function as a natural windbreak.
Breast Touching Lane (Mo-Lu Lane)
STREET
The narrowest alley in Lukang gets its comical label from the fact that a man could not
pass a woman down the narrow inner passageway without her breasts brushing against
him. The true gentleman would always wait for a lady to pass through first.
