MIAOLI (TVBS News) — Miaoli Baishatun Gongtian Temple's Matsu festival parade set off at 0:35 a.m. on Monday (March 18), heading towards Yunlin Beigang Chaotian Temple in a journey expected to last nine days and eight nights.

On the preceding day, President Tsai made a special visit to the Baishatun Gongtian Temple, paying respects and purifying the palanquin of Matsu. She further prayed for the continued protection of Taiwan by Matsu, the matron goddess, expressing hopes for favorable weather and peace among the people as the pilgrimage commences.

 

This pilgrimage marks President Tsai Ing-wen's sixth consecutive year of participation, a testament to her devotion and continued prayers for nationwide peace and prosperity.

Two days before Matsu's departure, Baishatun transformed into a city that never sleeps as countless believers began to flock into Tongxiao Township in Miaoli. Each year, the Baishatun Matsu pilgrimage attracts a massive number of participants. This year, approximately 180,000 people are involved, setting a new record in the pilgrimage's history.

Furthermore, the event has attracted many foreign visitors, reflecting the international prominence that this festival activity has achieved.
