It’s two kilometers away from the coast and the measure of it is about 40square kilometers. It’s a long narrow district. Lu-Kang is a famous cultural old town in Taiwan. It used to be the gateway of mid-Taiwan and the second old town only second to Tainan. We can see the prosperous Lu-Kang from the old saying;” The first one is Fu; the second one is Lu and the third is Meng-Jia”. But now, without the illustrious position, it still possesses plenty of historical estate and it’s also a town worth going on a deep trip.
