Tainan continues to introduce new experience types in tourism. On 8/5 and 6, a new type of sightseeing experience combining in-depth religion and culture will be held "Fucheng One-day Woodcarving Restorer". "Liu" Mr. Liu Jinwen, and Taiwan City God's Temple, jointly organized this experience tour, inviting tourists to act as a woodcarving restorer for a day. As soon as the registration was opened, it was sold instantly, and it was well received by the participants. The event site City Councilor Cai Zonghao and the City God's Temple Chairman Guo Guo Rong Zhe was also present to support and encourage. Chairman Guo also generously presented towels in the shape of Qiye and Baye representing the Chenghuang Temple, which made the students say that it was really worth the money.

Mayor Huang Weizhe said that Tainan is the city with the largest number of temples. Combining traditional temple-related crafts with sightseeing tourism will produce more different types of sightseeing experiences, and let the public better understand the beauty of traditional religious art during the experience; Lin Guohua, director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, said that this experience tour will be conducted in the way of small groups and experts leading the way. He has cooperated with Mr. Liu Jinwen, who has long promoted the traditional craft of "Eggplant into Stone Willow", to guide the restoration of wood carvings and the appreciation of temple crafts. Combined with real-world puzzle solving, people who have never been in touch with woodcarving restoration can experience it easily, and bring back their own completed woodcarving works. It is also predicted that another tour related to religious experience will be launched before the end of November. People who are interested in religious tourism, please continue to pay attention to the relevant information of this bureau. In the future, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with the tourism industry and teachers to package it into a normal itinerary, so that more people can experience and personally feel the beauty of religious art.

There are a total of 15 places for this event, 5 of which are people from other counties and cities. Among them, Ms. Bao, who came from Taichung to participate, said that she usually pays attention to information about historical sites and societies, and feels that this event has benefited a lot. Take advantage of the second morning of this event to visit the first and second halls of South America, and go to Qingshui Temple to appreciate the door god painting by Mr. Pan Yuexiong. I hope to have the opportunity to participate in similar activities next time; Mr. Yan, who is a cultural guide, said he I used to only know the general process of "Eggplant into the Stone Willow". After this activity, my explanation can be more detailed. I also hope that more guides can understand this traditional skill; there are also handicrafts from Japan Luthier Kanyuki Kawabata hopes to combine the handmade guitars he made with Mr. Liu Jinwen's "Eggplant into the Stone Willow" technique in the future, so he specially came to attend the two-day course.

Teacher Liu Jinwen said that "Eggplant into Stone Willow" is enough to represent the traditional craft of Tainan Fucheng. It uses two kinds of wood with different colors and different soft and hard textures, and combines carving and inlay techniques to present a contrasting log color contrast. Because the work is time-consuming, machines cannot replace human labor. The exquisite works are loved by collectors. Tainan is the largest. Even if there are other counties and cities, the number is very rare. It can be said that it is the pride of Tainan people. "It is one of the must-see sightseeing highlights in Taiwan and South Africa. Eight out of about 10 temples in Tainan have artworks of "Eggplant into Stone Willow", such as Mazu Tower, Datianhou Temple, Jin'an Temple and the recently completed You are welcome to visit the restored Puji Hall and so on.

Nanshi Tourist Bureau added that the theme of this event is the traditional craft of "Eggplant and Willows" and cooperated with Mr. Liu Jinwen to choose "Taiwan City God's Temple".

The market has a century-old history and there are many hidden delicacies, such as old-fashioned pastry shop, fried rice, spring rolls, sausage cooked meat, wonton soup, etc. You are welcome to visit these local "alleys" delicacies when you visit the Fu Chenghuang Temple.
