A temple above the basin
Nanshan Fude Temple (南山福德宮) was founded by migrants from Zhangzhou (漳州). Hills rising behind and on either side resemble a stove, explaining the Hongludi name. The main hall honours the Earth God (福德正神), Zhusheng Niangniang (註生娘娘) and the mountain deity. A trail behind the temple climbs Nanshijiao Mountain (南勢角山), whose pavilion overlooks the Taipei Basin (臺北盆地), Dahan River (大漢溪) and Xindian River (新店溪).
Myanmar Street flavours
Huaxin Street developed through communities of ethnic Chinese from Myanmar and descendants of troops who had moved from Yunnan (雲南) into Myanmar and Thailand. Chinese and Burmese appear together on shop signs. Food includes coconut chicken, fish-noodle soup, shredded-chicken noodles and fried pea cakes; cooking traditions draw on Yunnan and Myanmar.
