The annual Baishatun Matsu Pilgrimage was designated as a national intangible cultural asset in 2010. The procession is to traverse about 400km during the nine-day, eight-night journey from Baishatun to Beigang.
The route is unpredictable, and changes each time. The pilgrimage is held annually for more than 200 years, and is a well-known religious event in Taiwan.
