Each year, tens of thousands of devotees walk hundreds of kilometers to accompany the goddess Mazu on her pilgrimage across Taiwan. This image captures the breathtaking moment when the sea of pilgrims fills the streets of Beigang, moving together as one — a living river of devotion and unity. The vivid colors, the crowd’s energy, and the sacred procession together embody the cultural and spiritual heartbeat of Taiwan.
