This is part of an event that takes place every 12 years in many cities in Taiwan. It lasts for a month with parades and performing artists.
This beautiful ornate boat on display next to a temple was burned as a sacrifice at the end of the month. I'm sure it took many months to build. Several men lived on the boat for three months.
As a westerner, this celebration was extremely "Eastern." The differences between east and west cultures were never more pronounced.
I wished I would have worn ear plugs when filming a lot of this. Everything was accompanied with a lot of loud firecreackers made louder by the narrow closed-in streets. |
