Old Market Street
The merchant streets of old Lukang are well represented by the shops lining both sides of the curved, red-tiled lanes of what is now called the Old Market St. Almost all the shop fronts have been restored and interiors decorated with antiques. You can shop for traditional items, try some local delicacies or just enjoy a stroll through history.

Nine-Turns Lane (Chinseng Lane)
Don't bother counting the turns as you wend your way past some of the oldest and most charming residences in Lukang on Nine-Turns Lane. The number nine refers to September, the ninth month. Cold winds blow down from Mongolia at this time of year and the turns functioned as a natural windbreak, giving new meaning to the phrase 'clever by turns'.

Breast Touching Lane (Mo-Lu Lane)
The narrowest alley in Lukang, also called Gentleman's Lane (Mōlǔshàng), gets it comical label from the fact that a man could not pass a woman down the narrow inner passageway without her breasts brushing against him. The true gentleman would always wait for a lady to pass through first. Take a stroll through the lane with someone you love – or hope to.
