Hello, Goolge and Everyone from the world,
I would like to share my first experience to participate Dajia Matsu Pilgrimage starting from 2019/04/07 to 2019/04/16.
Dajia Matsu Pilgrimage is one of top three religious festival in the world.
Everyone joins this festival for different reasons. Some for fun, some for experience, some for photography, and some for showing their gratitude Matsu. Believers show their gratitude in their own way.
Maybe for different reasons, but same start point, same route, and same end point. Everyone shares the same blessing from Matsu on this 9 days and 8 nights journey.
Along the way, you can see how people show their gratitude to Matsu.
I joined the festival for the first day (12 km by walk and 25 by bike).
When you are thirsty or hungry, believers served all kinds of food and drink.
When you are tired, there is truck running back and forth. It will take you to next stop.
when you are sleepy, you can sleep on the side walk or on the truck.
When it comes to midnight, you can still see lots of people walking on the street at 02:00pm
I believe everyone should join this festival once a life time. It will give you an unforgettable experience.
