1. Chingshueiyan Temple: Located at the intersection of Kangding Road and Changsha Road, it enshrines "Chingshuei Master." It is said that before natural disasters or significant changes in weather occur, the nose of the deity statue will drip, serving as a warning sign, hence the nickname "Dripping Nose Master."
2. Longshan Temple in Monga: Over 200 years old, Longshan Temple is a national second-class historical site and the most well-known religious center in the area. Some say it's a gathering place for various gods. The temple houses over 100 statues of deities, both primary and secondary.
3. Bopiliao Historic Block: Located about an 8-minute walk south of this building, it earned its name during the Qing Dynasty when Fuzhou merchant ships carried Taiwanese cedar and peeled off the bark here. With a history of over 150 years, it preserves the street layout from the Qing Dynasty.
4. Qingcao Lane: Located about a 10-15 minute walk south of this building, this narrow lane, less than 50 meters long, is adjacent to Longshan Temple.
