Sanxia Cingshuei Zushih Temple
Originally called Changfu Yan, Sanxia Zushih Temple has been the center of belief
of local people since mid-Qing Dynasty. After refurbishing two times, the third
renovation was designed by Li Mei-shu, a renowned painter. With his dream, he restored
the temple by introducing many new construction methods. Learning from the merits
of Japanese and European architecture, he added many engravings and ornaments to
the temple. All the themes of the art works were adapted from Chinese and Taiwanese
classics and folklore. No wonder people praise it as the hall of art. In ordinary
times, the temple is always packed with worshippers. In the 6th day of the First
month of the Lunar Calendar, there is a swine contest to celebrate the birthday
of the master. On that occasion, the temple and its square is packed by worshipers
and visitors, adding much festive mood to the neighborhood. The farmers of the swine
that win the contest take the pig on tour to show respect and offer the swine to
the god. It is said that if people touch the swine’s hair, they will become wiser.
Those that touch its nose will enjoy peace and happiness throughout the year. Meanwhile,
people that eat the pork will have good luck all year round. We welcome you all
to join this festival during the Chinese New Year.

Sanxia Old Street
During holidays, Sanxia Old Street is always packed with visitors. On the street,
there are many old buildings built in the period of the Japanese rule. Blending
Baroque style with southern Fujianese design, these buildings are archaic and magnificent.
On their walls, carved patterns and pictures tell people of their past glories.
In the street everything, such as sewer covers, door plates, sign boards, and stalls,
is nostalgic. Walking into the street, visitors seem to travel through time to see
is past. In the Old Street, many gourmet snacks, such as pork chop rice, ice soy
pudding, ice cream, pork blood pudding, croissants, and more, are served. You won’t
want to miss them.

Yingge Ceramics Old Street
Yingge was called Geshi in the past, because there was a bird-shaped stone near
the town. After World War II, the government named this place. The so-called Ge
Old Street is Jianshanpu Rd. After reconstruction, the old street has become a modern
street, along which are pottery and porcelain shops. Though the old street no longer

coffee on the street.
