大甲市景風光Dajia city scenery

大甲這個擁有悠久歷史傳統的小鎮，市容相當繁榮，而主要的街道以媽祖廟－鎮瀾宮為中心向外圍拓展。到大甲作客，也可以鎮瀾宮為中心，進行一趟別具人文風味的歷史散步之旅。
 
由大甲火車站前循蔣公路而行，經鎮政路、鎮瀾街後，可抵達蔣公路和順天路口的鎮瀾宮。這座建於清雍正十年（一七三二年）的老媽祖廟，不但是該鎮人文發展與宗教信仰的中心，更是一大人文資產，來此絕對不能錯過前往一覽廟堂之美，順道祈求平安。
 
由鎮瀾宮前走順天路往南行，在抵達順天路與光明路、水源路三向岔路口時，可見路口一隅有一座昔日為「大甲小公園」的貞節牌坊，這座古色古香的牌坊及為了表彰林春娘守節盡孝的事蹟，而於清道光年間設立，此時已被列為三級古蹟加以保護，德懿依然飄香。再原路回到鎮瀾宮前，循順天路反向往北行而抵達文武路口，此時左轉文武路前行至雁門路口，可抵達路口一隅的文昌宮。文昌宮又名「文昌祠」、「文祠」，建於清光緒十三年，內部供奉文昌帝君、孔子、韓愈等文神，也是一座國家三級古嘖。當逛完了以上的景點後，不妨利用晚間的時候再回到鎮瀾宮，循蔣公路一路逛下去，兩旁即是熱鬧、燈火輝煌的大甲夜市、這座夜市為「吃市」，攤販全部以小吃攤、水果攤、冷熱飲等為主，在進行一趙市區歷史散步後，來此正好可犒賞一下饑餓的五臟廟。
Dajia, a small town with a long history and tradition, has a very prosperous cityscape, and the main streets are centered around the Mazu Temple-Zhenlan Palace and expand to the periphery. When visiting Dajia, you can also take a historical walking tour with a unique humanistic flavor centered on Zhenlan Palace.
​
From in front of Dajia Railway Station, follow Jiang Highway, pass through Zhenzheng Road and Zhenlan Street, and reach Zhenlan Palace at the intersection of Jiang Highway and Shuntian Road. This old Mazu temple, built in the 10th year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1732), is not only the center of the town's humanistic development and religious beliefs, but also a major cultural asset. You must not miss it when you come here to take a look at the beauty of the temple. Pray for peace.
​
Take Suncheon Road in front of Zhenlan Palace and head south. When you arrive at the three-way fork between Suncheon Road, Guangming Road, and Shuiyuan Road, you can see that there is a Chastity Archway in the corner of the intersection that used to be "Dajia Small Park". This antique The memorial archway was established in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty to commend Lin Chunniang's filial piety. At this time, it was listed as a third-level historic site for protection, and Deyi still carries the fragrance. Return to the Zhenlan Palace along the original route, follow Shuntian Road and head north in the opposite direction until you reach the Wenwu Road intersection. At this time, turn left on Wenwu Road and go to the Yanmen Road intersection. You can reach Wenchang Palace at the corner of the intersection. Wenchang Palace, also known as "Wenchang Temple" and "Wen Temple", was built in the 13th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. It worships Emperor Wenchang, Confucius, Han Yu and other literary gods. It is also a national third-level ancient temple. After visiting the above attractions, you might as well go back to Zhenlan Palace in the evening and walk along Jiangsu Highway. On both sides are the lively and brightly lit Dajia Night Market. This night market is a "food market" with all the vendors. There are mainly food stalls, fruit stalls, hot and cold drinks, etc. After taking a historical walk in the city, coming here is just the right time to reward those hungry Wu Zang Temple.
