Pretty amazing photos and shots taken. Just a slight correction, Dragon Boat Festival is known as 端午節， not 龍船節。 The history can be traced via Wikipedia if you are interested to know more about Chinese culture. Nonetheless as most people said what is there in Hsinchu City/County, there are really a lot more to it and explore especially the Hakka Culture.

]]> Comment on Single Shot: Temple Procession, Tainan by Mark Armstrong http://joshintaiwan.com/2012/02/19/single-shot-temple-procession-tainan/#comment-2121 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 18:21:38 +0000 http://joshintaiwan.com/?p=1557#comment-2121 That sounded so funny: a god you weren’t familiar with, and it took place in an alley!

Perhaps I’m getting the wrong impression from your blog: are there processions every day in Taiwan? every week? It almost sounds like you could see a different procession every day if you wanted to (?).

Nice shot!

Love the bonsai trees lining the walk in the first photo. Great shots!

It seems every temple I go to has some kind of renovations – however minor – going on at some point. Usually these are done just in time for big festivals. I’m pretty fascinated by the work of the artisans who do this.

How on earth do they maintain those elaborate outside structures?? (I’m thinking of having to repaint all that complex ornamentation due to weather damage.)

I actually somewhat avoid taking that type of shot because I feel like I’ve done it so many times. I’m glad you liked its return!
