Hwahsi
Tourist Night Market
Taiwan's first tourist night market, Hwahsi Street is lined with
dozens of small restaurants serving just about everything that
walks or swims. Apart from the shops selling Tainan noodles, it
differs considerably from most other night markets. The mystique
of the market has been lessened by the opening of numerous large
seafood restaurants, but the ornate entrance arch remains the
same.
Lungshan
Temple
Lungshan Temple is dedicated to Kuanyin, the Goddess of Mercy.
It was built in 1738 by Fukienese immigrants as a branch of the
original Lungshan Temple in Fukien Province and took five years
to complete. Due to natural and man-made disasters, the temple
has been repaired and renovated on numerous occasions. It faces
south, with halls to the front and back and a central hall surrounded
by protective dragons. The two bronze dragon pillars in the front
hall, the four dragon pillars in the central hall, and the wooden
carvings are all exquisitely crafted. The well and shrine in the
front hall are particularly outstanding. The temple columns, inscriptions,
and plaques are also worth a look.
