Taiwan - Bao Sheng Cultural Festival
The 14th day of the 3rd lunar month in the Chinese calendar is the birthday of the Bao Sheng Emperor. Celebrations to mark the occasion took place at Taipei's 205 year old Bao An temple.
The festival features religious rituals, folklore expertise, tours of historic sites, craft workshops, art contests, health care services, and academic seminars.
Taipei Baoan Temple is a representation of Taiwan's folk religion. The temple structure reveals the best of traditional Taiwanese architecture, while the folklore performance troupes and Taiwanese opera performances at the festival highlights cultural heritages. Moreover, the historical, religious, and cultural roles of the temple make it an important site for the local community and tourists from abroad. These explain why Baosheng Cultural Festival continues to attract visitors and tourists over the years.
