Temple celebration

Last week was the birthday of the god of the underworld. The Dong Yue Temple 東嶽廟 in Yilan had a huge multi-day celebration, which included a parade of huge statues that danced through the streets and into the temple.

I am working on a video montage of the celebration, but until it’s done, here’s a small taste of it. The celebration wasn’t nearly as creepy as this video might suggest. It’s a joyful celebration.
