Xinzhuang, meaning "new and prosperous street", originated from the Xinzhuang Temple Street in the late Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty and has over 300 years of history. Xinzhuang is the earliest town in the Taipei Basin, benefiting from the convenient transportation system of the Tamsui River, making Xinzhuang have the reputation of "thousands of sails standing at the Xinzhuang port, and thousands of shops gathering at the street" during the Qing dynasty, and once became the third largest prosperous city in Taiwan. Immigrants from all over the world brought their hometown beliefs to Xinzhuang to make a living, also making Xinzhuang the most densely populated area with ancient temples among the many old streets in New Taipei City, hence the name Xinzhuang Temple Street. The old street protected by the gods, the Xinzhuang Temple Street business district, and the ancient temples with thriving incense, witnessed the rise and fall of Xinzhuang over the years, and are also important cultural assets of New Taipei City. Among them, Guangfu Palace is listed as a national monument; Ciyu Palace, Wusheng Temple, and Wenchang Temple are designated as city monuments, and are all important centers of faith in the Xinzhuang area. When visiting Xinzhuang, you might as well enter the temple to pray for the safety of your family and the country. The fragrance of the temple spreads out in front of the Xinzhuang Temple Street, and the historical flavor is hidden in the bones. The hundred-year-old alleys and old shops, such as Rice Market Street, Theater Alley, and Blacksmith Street, emit a unique smell and sound. At night, Xinzhuang Temple Street transforms into a lively night market, with vendors selling dishes such as rolled rice cakes, Mongolian barbecue, and meatball soup, which make your fingers tremble with desire. Each vendor is a master of their craft, having undergone rigorous testing and offering delicious flavors.
