明新書院
Built in 1885 during the Qing Dynasty rule as the first private school within the area, the complex is a well-preserved example of the pre-colonial educational system in Taiwan.
武昌宮
The remains of a temple that collapsed during the earthquake in 1999. No one died, and staff risked their safety to recover the deity statues from the collapsed building - a deed that they believe has brought good fortune. And sure enough, an even bigger temple, impressive on its own, has been been rebuilt in front of the collapsed on.
泰順廊橋
A picturesque life-sized replica of one of the historic covered bridges of Taishun County in Wenzhou, Mainland China, built from wood without any nails. The bridge was built for Wuchang Temple as a gift from an associated temple in China. Free entry during daylight hours.
