Lukang River Introduction
Lukang Creek Drainage is located on the southern side of Lukang City. During the Qing Dynasty, merchant ships could sail in, making it an early transportation waterway for trade with China. It is also adjacent to the old street district, which was a central hub for goods trading at that time. This has led to Lukang being praised as "One Prefecture, Two Lukang, Three Bangka," and it can be seen as a witness to the flourishing scene of countless ships entering the port. However, as time has passed, the current Lukang Creek Drainage has lost its early functions and has now become a drainage ditch for rainwater and wastewater, collecting rainwater and domestic sewage in the urban area. The county government has initiated the "Lukang Creek Reappearance Project," which connects the old street area with the local residents' lives, increasing recreational spaces for both locals and tourists. This project aims to recreate the former glory of the "Mother River" and restore the cultural landscape while showcasing the historical beauty of Lukang Creek. The water's edge promenade along Lukang Creek is approximately 1.5 kilometers long, featuring diverse spaces such as plazas, green belts, water-friendly walkways, and an aquatic stage. The aquatic stage and sail plaza provide spaces for cultural performances. At both ends of the river section, the Kaiyuan Plaza and Sail Plaza are adorned with two public art pieces: the "Fulu Beast" and "Lu Shàngxing Boat." Additionally, there are water dance performances at Kaiyuan Plaza every night from 6 PM to 9 PM. The transformation of Lukang Creek provides a cultural and recreational space for both visitors and local residents, enhancing the surrounding environment.
