Burning the King Boat Festival is one of the famous folk festivals along the southwest coast of Taiwan Province Province. Originally, it was to send the God of plague to sea, but now it has evolved into an activity to pray for peace and happiness. It is held every three years. The Donggang Burning King Boat was held in the Donglong Palace in Donggang Town, Pingtung County in September of the lunar calendar, and the Xigang Burning King Boat was held in Qing 'an Temple in Xigang Township, Tainan County in mid-April of the lunar calendar. Among them, the scene of burning the king ship in Donggang is the most lively and grand, and it is famous throughout Taiwan. Except for the temple fair, the ceremony of burning the king's boat on the last day was the climax of the whole ceremony.
Taiwan Province aborigines are divided into 13 ethnic groups, such as Ami, Atayal, Beinan, Bunun, paiwan, Dawu, Rukai, Zou, Shao, Kamalan, Taroko and Sacile Ya. They often express their reverence for the gods of heaven and earth through festivals, ceremonies, songs and dances and competitions. For example, the harvest festival of the Ami people, the short spirit festival of Xia Sai people, the ear-beating festival of the Bunun people, the New Spring Festival of the Beinan people, and the flying fish festival of the Dawu people are all very distinctive and valuable for sightseeing.
There are more than 870 Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province Province. On Mazu's birthday in March of the lunar calendar, temples in Taiwan Province, such as Lan Palace in Dajia Town, Taichung County, Tianhou Palace in Lugang County, Chaotian Palace in Beigang, Yunlin County, Fengtian Palace in Xingang, Chiayi County, and Datian Hougong in Tainan City, will expand activities such as offering sacrifices, offering incense and paying homage, especially Mazu in Lan Palace in Dajia Town, Taichung County.
