It usually takes 1.5 hours by car from Taipei to Taichung. But today we passed Taichung and kept driving south for additional ~30 min to visit Lugang Mazu. We drove through very narrow streets and suddenly these very colorful, huge statues of "Mazu" and her two followers (?) showed up in front of us! |
We went through this gorgeous gate with dragons to get inside. |
At the center court you can get incense sticks and other offerings. |
In front of the main hall is this big incense holder with dragon decorations. |
After visiting the main hall, we kept going and came out to the small court yard. |
In this court yard is a big pond called "Frying Dragon Pond". |
Oyster omelets were cooked in front of many restaurants. |
This is a fried oyster pancake - I liked this one a lot! |
I saw these turnip cakes grilled in front of the restaurant as well, which looked very yummy. So we tried them but they were not very good... |
There were also many food stands - this is the stand that sells fried seafood. |
Small shrimp. |
Small crabs. |
And oysters! |
