Lukang: Changhua County's Architectural Gem

Lukang was  a thriving port of Formosa during the 18th century
A silting harbor reduced  maritime commerce
City elders rejected railway proposals
Lukang's preserved architecture 
became its magnet

Coveted Corner of Old Street


Modest Store Front

Commercial Buildings, c. 1930


A Furniture Shop



Lukang's crafted wood products are renowned in Taiwan
 Religious wood carvings include worship tables
 deities, and coffins


Worship Tables
Horse Deity
