『Tianhou Temple』
Lukang Tianhou Temple, formerly known as Lukang Tianfei Temple, is the earliest and only temple in Taiwan that enshrines the founding mother of Meizhou Tianhou Temple on Meizhou Island. This Meizhou Island Tiansheng Mother (the founding second mother) was brought here by General Shi Lang, the admiral of Fujian Navy in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is also the only Meizhou founding mother in the world, which has been around for nearly 400 years. Lukang was a natural harbor in the past, with frequent trade with the mainland. In order to ensure navigation safety, believers gathered to build Lukang Tianhou Temple in 1591 to worship Mazu.

『Xing'an Palace』
Xing'an Temple, commonly known as "Xinghua Mazu Temple", is one of the earliest Mazu temples in Lukang. In the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1684), people from Xinghua Prefecture, Fujian Province, immigrated to Taiwan and brought Mazu incense with them. They built a temple in the Caozai City area of ​​Lukang. The name of the temple, "Xing'an Temple", means "Xinghua Peace" and "Xinghua Tranquility".

『Moru Lane』
Mo Ru Lane is a fire lane between two long shophouses. Due to the strong sea breeze in Lukang, the distance between houses is not wide to resist the strong wind. The width of Mo Ru Lane is only about 60 to 70 centimeters. When residents pass through this lane, two people must turn sideways to barely pass through. If a man and a woman pass by each other, it would be a bit embarrassing. Therefore, names such as "Hu Xiong Lane" and "Gentleman Lane" appeared, among which "Mo Ru Lane" is the most famous.

『Longshan Temple』
Among the five major Longshan Temples in Taiwan, the Lukang Longshan Temple has the longest history and its architectural style embodies the wisdom and characteristics of the ancients. The architecture of Longshan Temple is recognized as a classic work in Taiwan. It is not only large in scale and rigorous in structure, but also has superb architectural techniques. Not a single nail was used in the construction of the entire temple, and the beams, columns, and brackets are solidly constructed, and the caisson carvings are very exquisite, all of which show the high wisdom of the ancients.

『Osmanthus Alley Art Village』
Previously, it was named Osmanthus Lane because of the sweet-scented osmanthus planted there. After replanning and the arrival of artists, it is now full of fresh air. Each open art space has its own characteristics. Walking outside, you can see their unique designs. Here we see not only traditional architecture, but also a lot of creative thinking of artists, which is worth savoring.
