If you think Pingtung only has beautiful beaches and a leisurely holiday atmosphere, then you may have missed a great food paradise - Huaqiao Market. Huaqiao Market is located in Donggang, Pingtung, near Dapeng Bay, and has many freshly caught seafood delicacies. Let's take a look and see how many delicacies are hidden in this market! As soon as you enter the market, you will be surrounded by the strong smell of sea water. There are all kinds of seafood, from fresh lobsters, crabs to various fish. And don't think that only sashimi is sold here! You can also find cooked food that has been skillfully prepared, such as fragrant fried fish and grilled shrimp, or sashimi rice bowl! All kinds of delicacies make people choose difficulties~ Friends who like to eat seafood cannot fail to know that the most famous thing in Donggang is "black tuna"! Donggang is the main port for catching black tuna in Taiwan, so it is also known as the "hometown of black tuna." Directly from the place of origin, the fish is fresh and the quality is good and the price is cheap. Here we show you the famous "Yulang Sashimi" in Donggang. Yulang Sashimi occupies 3-4 stalls in the market, with a high turnover rate, so the waiting time does not need to be too long. Recommended dishes: Miso soup, seafood rice bowl. In addition to fish, there is also a nine-hole in the miso soup, so you can taste the freshness of different seafood, and the soup is also elevated to another level by seafood. Yulang Flame Salmon Donburi is also one of the must-orders. The fresh salmon slices are grilled to 7-8 minutes of doneness. The meat is delicious and juicy. With distinct white rice and soy sauce, every bite is full of enjoyment! After eating, go to Donglong Palace to walk and worship. Donglong Palace, located in Donggang, has a rich history of more than 300 years. Donglong Palace, commonly known as the "Wangye Temple" by Donggang people, is dedicated to Wenfu Qiansui and is the main temple for the King's Peace Festival every three years. Prince Wen's surname is Wen, his given name is Hong, and his courtesy name is Dexiu. The Donggang people nicknamed him "Prince Prince". Because of his meritorious service in saving the emperor during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the emperor granted him the title of Jinshi. After suppressing the rebellion of bandits, he was canonized as Prince. In the prosperous times, he was ordered to tour the country to promote the virtue and prestige of the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he and 36 other Jinshi who had made meritorious contributions in saving the emperor died in a shipwreck. He was posthumously named "Tour Hunter on Behalf of the Heaven" by Emperor Zhenguan. Donglong Palace is a popular temple in the area, and it is also the birthplace of the annual religious event - the Welcoming King Ceremony. The Welcoming King Ceremony held every three years is a religious ceremony, but also a feast for the eyes and soul! In addition to the King Welcoming Ceremony, Donglong Temple has a unique ritual that has been passed down for hundreds of years, which is to change luck with a stick; it is said that it can drive away evil spirits and seek peace. The believers must lie down in front of the gods, and the temple staff will hold wooden sticks and whips, and the class leader will hold the king's flag. Boys will lie on bamboo mats and spank their buttocks, and girls will spank their palms, which can bring good luck and drive away bad luck. As the day's trip came to an end, we not only experienced the sacred atmosphere of Donggang Donglong Temple and the spectacular ceremony of welcoming the king, but also enjoyed a rich seafood feast at the Overseas Chinese Market. These unique experiences once again proved that Pingtung is not only a treasure land in the southern tip of Taiwan, but also a place with rich cultural heritage and unparalleled food. Come and play in Dapeng Bay! 🌴💕 #beaches#familytravel#romanticgetaway
