This Monday Sheri and I went to Lukang trying to take some photos. This is my forth or fifth time to go there, I don’t remember exactly. But I do remember that the first time I went there was seven years ago. I went there with my classmates to do some homework about history. Yeah, Lukang is an old township here in Taiwan and has a long history.

There are plenty of old and famous temples here, like Martial Temple, which was built in 1811 during the Jia-qing era of the Qing Dynasty in China.

Or one of the most famous one — Longshan Temple, which is a national monument in Taiwan and established in 1786. This temple covers an area around 5290 square meters and comprises a sequence of three principle building with 7-door width and three entrances.

We also visited the famous Lukang Mazu Temple, which was relocated to the present location in 1725 and is devoted to the goddess Mazu.

Lukang is really an old town, you can see old houses and old stuff everywhere. But even though you can still find something interesting there. Like this house, there is a famous song called “Yesterday once more” by The Carpenter written down on the top left side.

And you can find a house near the Longshan Temple replacing the traditional Chinese door gods with western comic heroes Ninja Turtles and Spider Man. That’s really funny.

Oh, I forgot to say something. DON’T go to Lukang on Monday, never, ever. Because many famous places are closed on Monday (we knew this after we arrived at Lukang…). Only stupid people like us went there on Monday, and got up early at 5:00 am… = =

Anyway, Lukang is still a good place to take a cultural tour.

Or, relax!
