EP59 Changhua County | The Banana Fan, Round One

from Bao Island Storyteller: Journey to the West

Episode fifty-nine brings us to Lukang — the jewel of Changhua County, a harbour town frozen beautifully in the eighteenth century. Walking the narrow lanes of Lukang Old Street, past temples with dragon-coil pillars and incense shops that have been open for two hundred years, we visit both the famous Mazu Temple and the magnificent Longshan Temple. Over a pillow-soft Changhua meat ball and a bowl of deeply braised pork rice, we reach one of the most entertaining chapters in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong meets his match not in a powerful demon but in a woman with an extremely good reason to say no — Iron Fan Princess, who gave him a fake fan that made the fire worse.Location: Lukang TownshipFood: Changhua Meat Ball | Braised Pork Rice
