There's an expression in Lukang that goes like this: "The golden eggs are laid on Chungshan and the turds come out on Putou." Chungshan Street, a big thoroughfare running parallel with Putou Street, enjoys the benefits of the great tide of tourists visiting the old alleys nearby.
鹿港有一句俗諺說，「金蛋生在中山路，拉屎拉在埔頭街」，和埔頭街平行的大馬路﹘﹘中山路，因位於老街附近，享受了老街帶來觀光人潮的利益。
