A small artist village has emerged with colourful murals at the start of the Old Street. This was previously working space for fishermen trying to catch some mullet in the local river. but it was filled in during the colonial period and Japanese-style homes sprung up on the site.
At the end of the old street is Xinzu, the only temple officially dedicated to the Mazu deity and was created by imperial decree in 1788.
The Tian Hou Temple dates from the late 16th century. The first stone temple was completed in 1647 and the current structure reflects renovations in 1936.
