Lukang was an important sea port in the 18th and 19th century. It was the most populous city in central Taiwan until the early 20th century.
The history of the town of Lukang has been characterized by rapid change. Lukang old town was once a bustling port during the Qing Dynasty in the 1600s and continued to be a thriving business center until 1895 when the Japanese came and shut down most of the trade with mainland China. The end of Lukang came when the harbor, which has never been that deep and suitable for the larger vessels, silted completely.

Today the city boasts over 200 temples dedicated to a wide variety of deities, such as Longshan Temple - which dates to 1786 - and Matzu Temple.
Lukang Old Street is filled by traditional Taiwanese style houses with carved doorways and windows, narrow streets such as the notably famed Nine-Turns Lane, thin red brick walls.
