臺灣廟會展 app for iPhone and iPad

Temple fairs are a folk activity and important part of religious culture in Taiwan. They include ancient ceremonies and are organized according to tradition, showcasing how spirituality has been ingrained in the lives of Taiwan’s faithful over the centuries. Of the many religious activities that take place each year, some of the largest are held in tribute to Mazu, goddess of the sea. The annual Mazu pilgrimage processions, which involve thousands of participants, illustrate the passion and devotion of Taiwan’s faithful.

Miao-Hui – Temple Festivals and Folk Cultures in Taiwan focuses mainly on Mazu pilgrimage processions, inviting visitors to experience what it feels like to participate in such activities. Through a series of displays and interactive multimedia programs, one can gain a better understanding of Taiwan’s beautiful temples and lively folk customs.

This application allows participants to search for the exhibition information even when they are moving around. By using mobile devices, participants can have their visit more easily, fast and clearly.
