[Reporter Tang Shiming/Changhua Report] The annual religious event "Stupid Hong Kong Pilgrimage" at Nanyao Palace in Changhua City, this year coincides with the "Guimao Year" pilgrimage, will start on April 30 (the eleventh day of the third month in the lunar calendar) Day) to return to Luang on May 6 (the 17th day of the third month in the lunar calendar) to embark on a 7-day, 6-night journey of "walking on a century-old ancient fragrance road".

In order to attract believers to participate in this year's incense pilgrimage with pilgrims, we carefully planned the "mini-trip" of the incense road light travel, so that believers can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the central region along the way, taste local delicacies and snacks, and the tour guide will explain the characteristics of each temple .

Mayor Lin Shixian said that those who intend to participate in the "mini-travel" activities can register online from now on, the fee is 500 yuan, and gifts such as incense hats, towels, mineral water, and souvenirs will be provided.

In addition, anyone who registers at the service desk of Nanyao Palace for "Pilgrims with Pilgrims" and pays a fee of 500 yuan will be presented with exclusive cultural and creative products such as pilgrimage bags and armbands.

He emphasized that what is very special about this year’s pilgrimage is that a new armband with incense was made according to the style of the ancient armbands for pilgrimage 60 years ago. Below the words "Counterattack the Mainland Victory and Restoration of the Country", the new pilgrimage armband is changed to "Suici Guimao Suixiang Ping An"; this year, anyone who participates in the "Small Travel" or signs up for "Pilgrim Suit" will receive a new antique armband , At the same time, the name can be entered into Shuwen.

The temple was built in the Nanyao Palace in Changhua City in the 3rd year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1738 AD).

Since the incense of Nanyao Palace was brought by Yang Qian from Tianhou Palace in Bengang (approximately today's Beigang of Yunlin County and Xingang of Chiayi County), based on drinking water and thinking of the source, since the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there have been people who went to the birthplace of Bengang every year to offer incense. Traditionally, it is the largest pilgrimage group in the history of Taiwan, and it was once the largest pilgrimage event in Taiwan's history. It is known as "the originator of the Taiwan pilgrimage group."

Lin Shixian said that the pilgrimage to Hong Kong, which has lasted for more than 200 years, is not only a pioneer of Taiwan's pilgrimage culture, but also a religious event with the epitome of diverse history, society, and culture.

The theme of this year's pilgrimage is "Responsibility". I hope that every believer who participates in pilgrimage will learn to be brave enough to take on their own responsibilities in life, and take on more responsibilities to the society and family, so as to build a better society together and increase mutual cohesion and centripetal force. .
