Lukang Shiyilou Introduction
Shiyi Tower, beloved by poets and literati, has a charming little story. In the early days, Lukang was known for its literary prominence, attracting many elegant scholars and poets who often invited one another to recite poetry under the moon or enjoy tea at night. The owner of Shiyi Tower was a very hospitable gentleman who built a corridor connecting the two adjacent floors to allow guests to lean on the railing and gaze at the moon from above. It's worth noting that the corridor of Shiyi Tower crosses Jinsheng Alley to form a cross, and this place is known for being suitable for "music, chess, poetry, wine, painting, flowers, moon, games, incense, and tea"—the ten "suitable" activities, hence the name Shiyi Tower.
