Description of Our Community: Yuanlin City (Taiwanese: Uân-lîm-chhi), formerly known as "Yuanlou Tsai" and "Lin Tsai Street", formerly "Yuanlin Town", is located in the east-central part of Changhua County, Taiwan, and is the economic and cultural center of South Changhua , with a population of more than 120,000. The Dayuanlin living circle with Yuanlin as the center has many industrial clusters. Yuanlin's tire industry wins the championship, and almost all domestic bicycle and motorcycle tires come from here. Heading south into Shetou Township, 80% of the country's socks are made here, making it the "Hometown of Socks". The neighboring Tianwei Township and Yongjing Township dominate Taiwan with their flowers and seedlings respectively. Dachun Township in the north of Yuanlin not only ranks first in grape production, it is also the "Queen of Bicycles". The bicycle industry radiated from Merida ranks second in Taiwan.

Project Description: Mazu is regarded as the "Goddess of the Sea" by Taiwanese people. March and April every year can be regarded as Taiwan's Thanksgiving Day. Many celebrations and Mazu circumnavigation celebrations are held in various places. "March Madness Mazu", a grand annual religious event---Mazu is going on tour! Famous deities such as Dajia Mazu, Baishatun Mazu, Nanyao Palace Mazu and other gods visit each other and circumambulate each other. They always attract a large number of believers to greet them. It is not only a highlight moment in the hearts of Taiwanese local believers, but also attracts Many foreign media and foreigners reported and participated. No matter what your beliefs are, as a Taiwanese, I believe you must have heard of Dajia Mazu and Baishatun Mazu. This 9-day and 8-night walking pilgrimage not only invigorates local religious activities, but also connects Many relationships between people! "Mazu Belief" is a unique religious belief of Taiwanese people, and our topic will introduce it in depth.
