Lukang
Lugang Township in Changhua County is one of Taiwan's most atmospheric historic towns, famous for old streets, temples, artisan shops, and traditional snacks. Once an important harbor town, Lugang preserves narrow lanes, red-brick houses, clan halls, and religious sites that show Taiwan's Qing-era heritage. Key landmarks include Lugang Longshan Temple, Tianhou Temple, Lugang Old Street, Nine-Turns Lane, and the Folk Arts Museum. The town is also known for crafts, lanterns, pastries, meat buns, and oyster dishes from the central west coast. Lugang is a rewarding day trip for travelers who want culture, architecture, and food without the crowds of Taipei's better-known old streets.
