Temple fairs are a folk activity and important part of religious culture in Taiwan. They include ancient ceremonies and are organized according to tradition, showcasing how spirituality has been ingrained in the lives of Taiwan’s faithful over the centuries. Of the many religious activities that take place each year, some of the largest are held in tribute to Mazu, goddess of the sea.
