Dajia Riverside Park Introduction
In the alleyway in front of the Dongyang Building of the Agricultural Association, about 80 meters long, connects to Zhongshan Market. After handling affairs at the Agricultural Association, workers who are farmers would go into the alley to buy ironware for rural life in Zhushan. The alley once had a Wenchang Temple and a Guanyin Pavilion, along with the ancestral home of the Chen family. The Wenchang Temple is a Confucian temple and has now been moved to Keming Palace, while Guanyin has been relocated to the Mazu Temple. The Iron Forging Alley originally had three businesses: Laifa, Renchun, and Ximan. Currently, Laifa is still forging iron. The ironware is also transforming along with the characteristics of Zhushan's industries, producing local ironware such as bamboo chopsticks, betel nut knives, winter bamboo shoot knives, and banana pangs. The molds for making pig knives from back in the day are still preserved.
