Heavy-duty Taiwan religious spectacle here, very in-your-face. YOU barely exist and dont warrant much notice here, ơn a festival day. Absolutely full of wits hoppers engaged in bringing visiting his images to the sitar for an official visit with Tai Ye 太爺. Turns out it’s his birthday tomorrow, and all the gods are visiting. As one staff explained, any temple that uses the term 廟 or 宮it it’s name pays homage to Tai Ye. He serves as the Minister of Defense, she explained. So…DON’T MESS.
