In Taiwan’s history, “Luermen” is the gateway to Taiwan. The “landing zone of Cheng-kung ZHENG” and “authenticity of Luermen Matsu” have been troubling the people, deities, events, and objects on both sides of the Lurermen River. The Matsu Gongzi Temple on the south bank and the Tuchengzi on the north bank have developed own religious cultures individually with independent successes. This community museum is a typical example.
