The goddess Mazu is the patron goddess of seafarers and fishermen, highly revered in China and Taiwan. In almost every village and certainly in every major city can be found for them a temple.
One of the oldest Mazu temples in Taiwan is in Dajia, of course, located on the coast. After an incredibly loud, colorful spectacle begins here for many years, a 7-day Procession through several cities of central Taiwan. Next weekend we go again. Whether I go again, I do not know: Photographically it is a first class experience, but for the ears is the noise of firecrackers, drums and a serious burden.
