Townhouses of Wu Ru-siang

The townhouses comprise four interconnected structures with carved decorations, traditional tiled roofs, and stone-worked details following Minnan architectural patterns.

Built during the late Qing Dynasty period, these townhouses belonged to Wu Ru-siang, a merchant who established his residence in this developing commercial district.

The connected layout of these townhouses reflects the traditional Taiwanese approach to urban living, where extended families resided in adjacent interconnected buildings.

The townhouses maintain their original architectural elements while incorporating modern utilities, making them accessible for visitors interested in historical architecture.

Each section of the four connected buildings contains specific stone carvings that indicate the social status and profession of the original merchant owner.
