ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The King Greeting Peace Festival is an important annual festival in the Donggang area of Taiwan once every three years, and occupies a very important position in Taiwan's royal belief and festival culture. In order to welcome the arrival of the Chitose Lord on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol, the local residents almost mobilized in general, and the rituals were completely in accordance with the ancient rituals, and the local area could be seen everywhere with the noisy and lively shrine and the head of the formation, the believers who worshiped sincerely, and the cultural enthusiasm of the locality. Naturally, the elaborate and ornately painted royal ship is very eye-catching, but in the early hours of the morning, the ceremony of burning the royal boat to congratulate the king is the climax of the whole festival, and it is the most worthy of careful experience.
