Hao'ao Min Dong Leisure Introduction
Hao'ao Village, also known as "Houwo" or "Hao'ao," is named so because it is located at the farthest end when starting from Baisha Village. Hao'ao is a typical seaside fishing village, known for the vibrant worship at the "Yang Gong Eight Envoys Temple," where villagers hold grand ceremonies during festivals. The northwest of the village is called "Auli" by the residents of Wan'ao, as the harbor faces northeast and serves as a common sheltered port for fishing boats. Entering Hao'ao Village, an unassuming and quaint fishing village, you will find unexpected experiences and emotions. A must-visit is the historic house No. 53 in Hao'ao Village, which has been transformed into the "Minnan Leisure and Arts Pavilion" through the efforts of community builders. In 1999, with the active promotion of the "Settlement Preservation" urban-rural plan by the Lienchiang County Government, the Beigan Cultural Association received the consent of Lin Heping and his wife, the owners of house No. 53 in Hao'ao Village, to generously lend the historic house for the establishment of the "Minnan Leisure and Arts Pavilion." Due to the central location of this traditional historic house, its well-preserved structure, and the rustic beauty of its plain exterior, along with the square in front, the members of the Beigan Cultural Association actively engaged in cleaning, leak prevention, and renovations. Gradually, house No. 53 in Hao'ao Village became a multifunctional community activity center for local neighbors, military personnel, and tourists to hold various exhibitions, workshops, gatherings, and recreational visits. Villagers enthusiastically participated as well, and now the various utensils in the "Minnan Leisure" are handmade by the village elders. Many renowned scholars and poets have visited this place, including the poet Luo Ye, who resided in Qinshi and wrote a poem named "Minnan Leisure." In 2005, the famous poet Zheng Chouyu even inscribed a commemorative writing, adding more brilliance to Hao'ao Village.
