The Qishan culture has developed from over 300 years of record, from a farm to a Street and later to the Golden Bananas Kingdom. Today, the beautiful Qishan Street has become a popular weekend destination for the people of Taiwan because of its small town atmosphere. For three hundred years, this small town shows how much the human spirit has been filled with the accumulation with countless stories and anecdotes. Now, you can go into the corridors of time, feel the Banana Kingdom of old downtown and the town of Fenghua today.
