Xinzhuang Temple Street Free Walk
Step into the heart of old Taiwan on Xinzhuang Temple Street, where faith, history, and community come alive. Explore sacred temples dedicated to powerful gods and guardians: Ciyou Temple (慈祐宮), over 300 years old and devoted to Mazu, the sea goddess, and Wusheng Temple (武聖廟), honoring Guan Yu, the symbol of loyalty and justice. Discover how locals pray for health, prosperity, and peace in rituals still alive today.
Wander through historic alleyways like Xiguan Alley, once filled with opera stages; Water-Carrying Alley, recalling villagers fetching river water; and Rice Market Alley, the bustling trade hub of old Xinzhuang. Each lane preserves stories of daily life and resilience.
Along the way, taste traditional pastries and snacks from century-old shops, from pineapple cakes to mung bean pastries and handmade noodles. End at the lively temple square, where religion, culture, and everyday life merge in a magical atmosphere.
Every corner has a story. Every statue holds a secret. Every ritual reveals the heart of Taiwanese devotion. Ready to uncover the mysteries of the gods?

“The Guider did not show up”
I was actually very disappointed. We had an appointment at 19:00. Although we were not there 10 minutes before the tour started, we were the meeting point at 19:00. We also sent many notifications saying that we will be there. However, we did not get any reply from the guider, and we can not find him at the meeting point....
