Wangye’s Boat, built at a cost of over NT$7 million, passes out through the golden archway of Donglong Temple in Donggang, Pingtung, in one of the highlights of a religious festival held every three years.
The procession moves through Donggang, driving out malevolent spirits and disease. Households welcome Wangye with offerings, incense and fireworks, and with prayers for favorable weather and wellbeing.
