Dajia Mazu International Festival is a 9-day-and-8-night event. People follow Dajia Mazu to visit temples and communities along the way to Singang, Chiayi County, Taiwan.
The round-trip pilgrimage is up to 330 KM. I did my first attempt to walk the whole trip in 2023. I did not follow the detail routes which Dajia Mazu visits. I chose the shortest route of 210 KM. I walked along the main routes and skipped the tours around communities.
It was a real challenge for me even though I picked the modified route. I was grateful I achieved my first attempt with the help from local people along the trip.
