Fujian, China — The air is buzzing with excitement as tens of thousands of people from across the Taiwan Straits come together to celebrate the legendary Sea Goddess, Mazu. For ten magical days, starting from September 18 and concluding on September 28, the original statue of Meizhou Mazu is journeying through the vibrant cities and towns of Putian in Fujian Province.
This grand event is more than just a tour; it's a colorful tapestry of culture, tradition, and unity. Imagine grand worship ceremonies where incense fills the air, lively sculpture parades weaving through streets, and performances bursting with energy—think traditional dances mixed with a modern twist! 💃🕺
At the heart of it all is Mazu, the beloved protector of sailors and fishermen, revered in Chinese maritime culture. Her story has sailed through generations, and this celebration brings her tales to life in the most spectacular way.
Our buddy, CGTN's Zheng Yibing, is on the ground, capturing all the action and sharing the vibes of this epic festival. So, whether you're a culture enthusiast, a traveler looking for your next adventure, or just someone who loves a good story, this is one event you don't want to miss! 🌏🎉
Stay tuned for more updates, and who knows? Maybe next year, you'll be dancing in the streets of Fujian too! 😉
