Lukang Shiyilou Introduction
Shiyi Pavilion, beloved by poets and scholars, has a little story connected to its past. In the early days, Lukang was renowned for its literary culture, and many elegant literati would invite each other to recite poetry under the moonlight or enjoy tea while gazing at the night sky. The owner of Shiyi Pavilion was a very hospitable gentleman who built a corridor between the two adjacent floors, allowing guests to lean over the railing and admire the moon from a height. It is said that the corridor of Shiyi Pavilion intersects with Jincheng Alley to form a cross, and this place is suitable for “music, chess, poetry, wine, painting, flowers, the moon, games, smoke, and tea," hence the name Shiyi Pavilion.
