Nantun Old Street refers to "Litoudian Street," which is now known as Nantun Village, originally a large settlement of the Puyuma Indigenous people. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, General Zhang Guo from Dinghai, Zhejiang, and his subordinates recruited tenants to cultivate the wasteland here, leading to an influx of immigrants. The manufacturing and sale of agricultural tools emerged, resulting in a cluster of stores specializing in plow-making, which turned into a trading center for agricultural products, known as "Litoudian Street." "Triangle Street," "Nantun Market," "Wanhe Temple," and "Dragon Boat Festival folk activities" have become beautiful memories shared by the children of Nantun.
