Station 1
Bangka Qingshui Temple
The temple is dedicated to Qingshui Zushi, a deity brought by immigrants from Anxi. A legend developed in Bangka (present-day Mengjia County) that if a natural disaster or upheaval was imminent, the statue's nose would fall off as a warning, hence the title "Losing-Nose Zushi" (Losing-Nose Ancestor). In the past, due to its location at the intersection of the settlements of the Sanyi and Tongan peoples, at the junction of Dingjiao and Xiajiao, the temple was destroyed during large-scale armed conflicts—commonly known as the Ding-Xiajiao feud. The rebuilt Qingshuiyan Temple, originally with three halls, now has only two; the rear hall was never rebuilt and remains unreconstructed. It is now a designated municipal historical site.

Food along the way
A-PO Rice Noodles
A tour guide's mother mentioned that this glass noodle stall is especially popular with local foodies during weekday lunchtimes. The owner has been in business for over 70 years; if you love traditional Taiwanese flavors, you definitely have to try it!

In 2017, Wu Zanxuan founded the "Monga Cultural Studio" with like-minded partners. From the initial cultural and historical exchange group, it has developed into a center for cultural activities, carrying out countless cultural walks, cultural curation, neighborhood reconstruction and elder interviews, etc., excavating and sharing the little-known cultural stories of Monga, allowing history and modernity to interweave here. ‧Expertise and Contribution Wu Zanxuan specializes in the history of Monga neighborhoods, the history of Monga boat trips, the history of interactions between important figures in Monga, and the research of Minnan and Lingnan culture. His works are often seen in "Travel Reading Magazine" and platforms related to issues related to his hometown Quanzhou. He deeply explores the exchange relationship between Monga and his hometown Quanzhou in various fields, and has made great contributions to Monga studies and Taipei studies. ‧Main activities 1. Street tours: One hundred guided tours of Ximen and Monga are held every year, leading tourists through time and feeling the historical pulse of the neighborhoods. 2.

Create your own Wanhua Museum
#JP MED Museum
Do you visit art galleries and museums on your holidays? Have you ever wondered when these venues became popular and widespread? What kind of collections did people display in the past? During the Renaissance, some people had their own "treasure troves," where they would collect specimens, archaeological artifacts, pictures of exotic animals, and other interesting things according to their interests, and place them in a room, a cabinet, or even a suitcase.
If you were to collect and display, what kind of Wanhua would you most like to present? What would you collect about Wanhua? Let's create our own exhibition hall using various materials and crafts before embarking on our exploration of Wanhua's history!


Explanation Skills (II)

In this class, Teacher Wu will take you to visit local historical and cultural sites in Ximending that are mentioned in the textbook and those that are not, to deepen your understanding of what you learned in the previous class!
