Shuixian Temple Introduction
Mentioning the Shuixian Temple Market will definitely make many people's stomachs growl. It is named after the Shuixian Temple, which is dedicated to the Water Immortal. The temple was built in 1703, and this area was once one of the five ports, Nanshi Port, bustling with merchants. The temple was built with the contributions of local businessmen, but today’s Shuixian Temple no longer retains the grandeur of the past with its seven temples and eight shrines; instead, it has been replaced by a busy market. When visiting Shuixian Temple, don’t forget to treasure hunt in the market. This place can be said to be the kitchen of Tainan, with a wide variety of ingredients and many longstanding snack shops hidden within. It not only enriches the exploration of history but also satisfies the empty stomach after wandering through the streets.
