Introduction

Lukang Old Street sits in Lukang Township, Changhua County, Taiwan, China, a significant Qing-dynasty port town that preserves dense Min-style shop-houses, red-brick arcades and the covered 'sky-less lanes.' The Lukang Folk Arts Museum, Lung-shan Temple and Tianhou (Mazu) Temple show deep faith and craftsmanship; narrow alleys, jar-wall compounds, old wells and heritage bakeries keep the old port's everyday life alive. It's the place for oyster omelets, shrimp-monkey fritters and Yuzhenzhai pastries — a quintessential town for Taiwan's traditional folk culture and well-preserved old residences.
