🌟Highlights: Lukang Town is not only the place where Luo Dayou's famous song came from, but also a gathering place for Taiwan's temple culture. Wandering here, you can feel the strong local atmosphere.
When you come to Lukang, you must visit the Tianhou Temple. This is also one of the three major historical sites in Lukang. It follows the traditional southern Fujian architectural style, and large-scale events are held in front of the temple during major festivals.
In addition, Mo Ru Lane near Lukang Old Street is also quite famous. This extremely narrow lane can only accommodate one person at a time, which made me vividly experience the feeling of surviving in the cracks.
📌Tips for fun
✅Most of the shops in Lukang Old Street don’t open until 12 noon. We went there at 10 in the morning and the streets were deserted. Friends who want to go shopping and eat, remember to come and check in at mealtime.
✅The specialties of Lukang Old Street mainly include Changhua meat buns, Changhua meatballs, tofu pudding, etc. You don’t have to choose old brands specifically, the small shops on the street are just as delicious and cheap, you can give it a try.
✅The high school attended by the male and female protagonists in "You Are the Apple of My Eye" is also in Changhua City. You can take a direct bus from Lukang to get there, so you can stop by to visit.
