Why go
Look out for the "swallowtail roof", a distinctive feature of traditional Hokkien architecture. The brightly colored, elaborate facade was constructed with ironwork from Scotland, tiles from England and the Netherlands, and dragon-ornamented granite pillars from China. It was built without the use of a single nail, instead relying on an interlocking system of wooden brackets, a technique dating back to ancient China.
